Scenes from Thanksgiving

Erin already did a great job posting about our Thanksgiving together at our parents' house in Dallas (here and here).  Here are just a few photos of the shenanigans that she skipped over.

Scooby and Scrappy Doo, cruisin' the driveway.



Look!  A monkey escaped from the zoo!



Why are pool noodles so much fun outside the pool?



A local motorcycle gang invaded Monticello Estates and wreaked havoc.



We taught Peter how to levitate.



Whew.  Andrew corralled the escaped monkeys back in their cage.



Charlotte liked to use Uncle Andrew as a chair.



The kids bellied up to the bar for all their meals.  It was awfully nice to eat at a completely separate table and not have to see the carnage up close.



We got parboiled in the hot tub.



It makes me smile to see Sonia wearing Charlotte's old shoes and jacket.



Erin does a mean elephant impression.



Charlotte hasn't seen a landline telephone in years, and apparently she thought this was what I meant when I told her tales of such archaic tools.



The kids were enamored with the little lettered tiles from the Scrabble game.



Charlotte helped me cheat (if you consider giving me the tip to "make a word using this letter, Mommy!" as cheating).



I won that game by the skin of my teeth, thanks to the insightful assistance of my illiterate daughter.
