Thanksgiving Highlights for my Sisters!

Both of my sisters are in India right now, and since they couldn't be here to celebrate Thanksgiving with us, I wanted to put up a few pictures for them!  I miss them so much and can't wait for them to come home.  

Matt and Mom getting the turkey ready. 

 

Matt and Robert fried the turkey - this is the rigging system they set up for safety :)  Mom made them have the fire extinguisher ready.  

 

Here they are with the fried bird!

 
After frying the turkey they decided to fry some of mom's yeast rolls and roll them in sugar like the Chinese restaurants - it was tasty!
 

 

I was in charge of decorating the table, and I put the peacock feathers on it kind of as a joke, thinking mom would make me take them off, but when she saw them she started crying because apparently its the national bird of India.  So, we left them up in honor of my sisters!

 

Mom made tons of food, and yes, she made stuffing without "yuckies".  

 
 

After frying the turkey, the guys wanted to fry everything!  Here they are frying potatoes!

 
We made lots of homemade pizzas the day after Thanksgiving! They were tasty.  

We decorated for Christmas after Thanksgiving.  Matt did most of the ornament hanging on the tree!

I love your mom's hair! So cute. :) Glad you guys had fun and there were no deep frying casualties!! :)

I also love your mom's hair... my mom's hair is growing back and feels just like cashemere! Also, what are the "yuckies"?

[Sara]

I'll chime in too - your mom looks so good with the short hair! She looks super young and her cheekbones really pop. Love it!

Haha - "yuckies" are just the sauteed celery and onions most people put into stuffing. My mom always makes two batches for our family - one plain and one with celery and onions!

Thanks for the pictures!!! I SO wish we could have been there. Maybe one day....
We decorated for Christmas today and it looks so awesome, although some of the electrical stuff is a bit sketchily rigged, but hey, we're in India...
