We're still trying to get @marionbowes posting on Steemit...
Hey Hey Marion...hint hint...I know you're reading this! Marion is my awesome Mother In-Law, and tonight she had our brood over for yet another heavenly feast. Brendan's Dad, Craig, is pretty stellar in the kitchen too, it's no wonder my husband is such a talented cook/baker and host.
Always a beautiful table, and a little chocolate for everyone...
"Mr. Joey Cat" beginning to get pissed off at me because I'm telling him what to do so I can take a good photo of him. The ears are back now, and I know it's time for me to back off...

I got a word for people like that but I won't use it...hahhaahaa
Perhaps my friend @tremendospercy will though...
Ok, yeah that's right, Thanksgiving! I almost forgot about it due to Joey's belligerence...
The smell that has been torturing us for hours has finally made its appearance. I guess we're just gonna admire this for a while...
Kiedis most likely asking Oma @marionbowes for a(nother) cookie.
While we were waiting for the bird to rest I got some photos of the boys.
And now Joey is assaulting my camera bag, rubbing himself all over it trying to get hair in my lenses and ruin any future plans of me taking his photo.
If you have been around felines you know the routine, sniff then head boop...sniff then rub...
The Master Chefs doing the final preparations...
And That's It Folks!
Soon after this moment I fell into a food coma and have yet to fully come out. I would have loved to get a couple shots of the dessert and definitely a full family photo, but it's been so long since I had Turkey I completely lost my bearings and my camera too.
There is so much to be thankful for every day. Brendan's parents have been there for us, so much over the years. They have loved and supported us through thick and thin, watched us make mistakes, yet never made us feel small for them. Gave us a helping hand up instead. They always have a word of encouragement, or an ear to listen to our seemingly never ending catastrophes lately. They believe in Brendan and support all of his ideas and dreams.
They love and accept me for who I am and all my weirdness :) :) :) And they are so amazing with our boys too. Stryder says to me the other day: "You know what Mom, I love Oma's house the most because she has never gotten mad at me, never". Stryder can be a challenge, yet Brendan's parents bring out the best in him. They have a lot of wisdom to share with us, about patience...and never giving up on the ones we love. We are very, very blessed, today and every day.
Thank you once again, for witnessing our Journey...
I really like Mr Joey the cat from that first picture of him kind of getting a little annoyed. He could be wondering when he gets his slice of turkey with gravy.
HAHAHHAA!!!! Omg that comment really made me laugh!! Good one!!
