Thanksgiving 2011

We spent Tuesday with Marleigh's family. This is Sarah, Edison's favorite cousin and he calls her his friend - how sweet. She was great with him.
Busy preparations the night before the big meal. Edison & Eben brined the turkey while Uncle Palmer made an amazing apple pie.
Edison was so excited to play with all seven of his cousins on Thanksgiving. They ran a million laps around the yard.
This is the first picture of the cousins in which none of them are actively protesting the affair. I think it turned out splendidly! Back row: Ellie, Harry, Lily, Will - Front row: Drew, Amelia, Edison, Charlotte, and Sarah.
They read books while they waited for the meal.
The kids table never looked better. I missed a picture of the feast, but it really was a fantastic meal, one of the best Thanksgiving meals I've ever had.
To burn off the calories, we all walked over to Stanley Elementary School. Eben & his siblings reminisced about the good old days while the kids burned off some steam.

The Phillips Family: Marleigh, Eben, Dean, David, Palmer (and Gus).
Our only family picture of the trip.
