I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. I know we sure did. We started the holiday at Eric and Amanda's house for a great turkey feast on Thanksgiving Day. Gary of course took the famous Hayden platter. Here Gary is showing Bill, Amanda's Dad, how to operate the contraption. Looks like Bill might have the idea on how to hook up the bird.
Ta-Da! Ready for the feast. And a fine feast it was. Thanks to Eric and Amanda for hosting such a wonderful dinner.
On Friday, the girls and I headed north for a two day tour to visit friends and family. We started out at our friend Mary's house for some holiday baking. Yes I do bake on occasion, and when it can be done with friends that is a bonus. Mary invited us along with her 3 sisters, her mother and a whole bunch of cousins. There were to many to count.
Here is a sampling of the counter. Some White Trash chex mix followed by some yummy chocolate noodle thing cookie. Kelly was making a cookie that had a snickers stuck in the middle with Mary's mom. I think she was just eyeing the candy bar in the finished product.

Kelly was doing a one for the ginger bread man, one for me approach here.
Cutting out more cookies to bake.
After our baking visit, we headed down the road to Dad's house for the night. Enjoyed pizza and some of those freshly baked cookies for dessert. We finished up the night with a couple games of Uno. We didn't keep score but I think I was pretty lucky for the night.
Saturday morning we were up and ready to go for our next holiday dinner. This dinner was hosted in Herkimer.
Laura found one of Ayla's dolls that she liked to play with while we were there.
Last visit for the weekend landed us at Jason and Jessica's for the night in Oriskany Falls. One of the treats of the weekend was the air mattress. Who would have thought an air mattress could be so much fun. Laura slept on one at Grandpa's house and thought it was the coolest thing. This air mattress was a little bigger and both girls could sleep on it. Although they are sisters and tend to pick at each other.
Finishing out the visit with a ball game. Nice weather all around for the visits.
