Turkey day


We had a fun morning yesterday, watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv while the turkey cooked in the oven and we readied the house (and ourselves) for company. Nora didn't seem to excited to put the turkey in the oven...I think she's so used to seeing pictures of live turkeys with feathers on them that it was hard for her to comprehend poor old Tom's fate. It was the usual fun, boisterous Birney gathering, although the party ended a little earlier than usual since everyone was concerned about their long drives home and Mom and Alli had to leave the house this morning at 4 am so that Alli could make her 6:30 flight back home. It's strangely calm and quiet in the house now; as I type, Mom, Dad and Matty are busy hanging Xmas lights and decorations outside while Nora watches Noggin and Caroline naps. We're looking forward to Pop Pop's visit this afternoon through tomorrow and more swimming in the pool. I have a ton of pictures to share from the past 2 days, so here goes!
