Thanksgiving Day!

Rub-a-dub-dub, time to grub!

Favorite Thanksgiving foods: Mr Tom himself of course, Mamaw's oyster stuffing, Oma's creamed onions and pumpkin pie! Ooh, and mulled cider.

Worst Thanksgiving food: that weird cranberry/orange relish stuff. Yeesh. Can't even pass that junk off on the dog.

There were other characters including Catwoman, Robin and the Joker, and they were all delicious. She said she hand-carved them (ha-HA!)... it was so nice of you to think of us! Thanks, Mrs. Boyce!
