OK, not really . . . Tom Turkey up there is still safe at the Columbia Zoo, and our turkey came from the grocery store!  Looks good, though, doesn’t it!?!

We’re still at the Navy Base FamCamp in Charleston, and celebrated Thanksgiving with my niece, Katy, her husband, Shane, and our great-nephew, Jaxon.  We spent the morning at the RV, making bread and sweet potatoes for dinner, along with an apple tart and sugar cookies for dessert.  Around 2pm, we headed over to their house, and dinner was well underway.

Katy was in charge of the mashed potatoes,

while Shane carved the turkey and made gravy,

Tom and I set the table and opened the wine,

and Nicolas kept Jaxon occupied.

Soon enough, it was time to sit down at the table to enjoy a delicious meal!  Jaxon got his first . . .

and believe me, he did not stay that clean for long!!  Everything was really good, and we all ate way too much, and were ready for a nap when we were done . . . but the little guy was the only one who got one!

By the time naptime was over, everything was cleaned up and we were ready for dessert . . . pumpkin pie, apple tart, and cookies!

And time for another bath!!! 

We’ve been enjoying our visit with Katy, Shane & Jaxon, are were really glad to celebrate Thanksgiving together!  It was a much smaller family celebration than we are all used to, but we had a great time!
