Thanksgiving 2009 Springfield Virginia

Another Thanksgiving Feast finished and what a feast it was!!!!

Voted the best tasting turkey ever made by, the now official turkey chef of the Seubert Clan, Dorsa H. Seubert!! It must have been the brining that was the trick to get the most tender, juicy turkey!! The sides were as tasty completing the feast of perfection. After dinner the cranberry-pear pie was the "cherry on top" as the saying goes. Fortunately we all have the ability to stuff ourselves beyond all reason.

We are now recovering slowly and enjoying the left overs as well. Hope you all had a memorable day as we did here in Virginia!! Now...on to the next holiday!!!

Thanksgiving Preparation

Preparations for the big day Thursday are in full swing. After weeks of searching through Better Homes and Gardens, Real Simple and the internet for more perfect recipes to fix for the feast, we are in the final stages of preparation. The Seuberts and Hassass' will gather at the home of Erik and Dorsa to share in the festivites. We've decided on an all day affair beginning with a scrumptious brunch and moving into the full course meal later in the day....hopefully we won't hurt ourselves with too much stuffing, but after weeks of planning it is hard not to over do. Hope you all have a wonderful day thursday and remember all the many things we have to be grateful for this year!!

OPPS

The Grocery Store and Puppet Show Post was suppose to be on the Aunt Sue Blog....

TIME FLIES!! GROCERY STORES AND PUPPET SHOWS

So it seems like a fairly simple thing. Post something on the blog everyday - and include a picture - preferably one taken on the day of the posting. Hmmmm. Not so easy. Days fly by and ZIP! NOTHING. I've been to St.Paul - the weekend - me and two cute guys - not much sleep - taking them to the Target Superstore for just a few grocery items - milk, bananas, etc. was more than an adventure - how did I manage to do the same with 3 children? Obviously I was much, much younger, had more energy, and grocery carts were not the size of giant SUV's . Where exactly was I suppose to put the car seat with baby? It took up the entire cart! Paddy had to hold a tiny grocery basket to hold the few meager groceries - this was a challenge in itself. No pictures from the grocery store adventure but here's one of Audrey putting on a puppet show...."I am Frog and I am Duck"

THE SHARK!!!!

Purple Phantom, 50's Girls with Poddle Skirts, Bumble Bee (with bumble bee hood)....and also THE SHARK!!!! a.ka. Paddy Foy....in Milwaukee where it was FREEEZING

HAPPY HALLOWEENER!!!!

Some butt shots again...two fifties girls in pink poddle skirts, a purple spooky guy, a bumblebee with spider hat, and a dad....Halloween Day in Wheaton. Big neighborhood street party, followed by Trick or Treat, followed by more partying by adults... but

by that time Grandma was home watching the ND game with Grandpa and Matthew and Teresa...
