Turkey Mania!

It was all out turkey mania at the Goodman house on Thanksgiving day. Seventeen friends and family came for the feast, the wine, and the good cheer. On one side of the table lay a turkey, twenty-three pounds and piping hot. On the other side of the table sat the ham, sweet and crispy on the outside, but a fighting machine on the inside. Surrounding them was a veritable pantheon of culinary delights: Grandma Star's famous sweet potato casserole, Aunt Michelle's asparagus carpaccio, and Mommy's acorn corn bread. Don't even get me started on the desserts.

The only question on everybody's mind: who was going to eat all this food?

Texas had to loosen his belt after the feast.

Picture of the week

Here is a picture of Texas engaged in one of his favorite past times: stacking the hot dog baskets. Fun! We built this tower together one night this week.

A Modern Stoneage Halloween!

Halloween 2009 was spooky and exciting and everything in between. Texas was a very polite and gracious trick-or-treater. He learned how to say trick-or-treat. He only took one piece of candy from our neighbors' stash, and he sometimes even put some of his own candy into their bowls. He said thank you to everyone and waved bye bye. He had one of mommy's chocolate covered marshmallows before bedtime and went right to sleep. (Meanwhile, we had trick-or-treaters up until 10:45 at night!)

Here are some pictures of our wild and crazy night.
