Thanksgiving weekend

What a fantastic couple of days it has been. We have been saturated by family and friends. It is simply glorious. Gabriel came up from LA for the holidays and so we got to spent a good chunk of time with him, dragging him around to the various family events. Here are some photos from the weekend! Doing a little early morning duet with Gabo. He has major singing skills. Notice also the fabulous apron.
Making pies. Someone pointed out that it looks like I am rockin' a turntable, to which Chase promptly named me "DJ Jazzy Pie Crust." Awesome.
Apio madness.
Go Chase!
Cousin Josie puts on her loveliest face to showcase the turkey, which was shot in Santa Ynez by my cousin Jethro. It's rumored that it was found with more than its share of acorns in its belly.

The Kid's Table. I am sure that when this was taken, they were all sitting quietly and minding their manners.
Malmal's kitchen!
Josie and Nakoa, relaxing in the Honda. If you look closely you can see the fetid camel back that Jo is sippin' on. The thing's a health hazard to be sure.
Jethro, Camila, Isa, Josie, me, and Darryl.
Dude! These bellies are huge! It was so much fun having two pregnant ladies around and we are so stoked about the new members of the family that will be arriving at any moment.
Gabo with Rae and Shae, the cutest wieners in the tri-counties.
We cajoled Gabo into an early morning surf sesh on Friday morning.
Getting ready to go out in the dark.

Sometimes I have trouble getting my booties off after surfing. Without my faithful bootie extractor, Chase, I would be rendered helpless.
Poter and Gabo.


Happy Thanksgiving!
