As most of you know, every year since college a few of us get together to celebrate the tradition of Thanksgiving dinner. This was year 16 and the event was appropiately titled: "Sweet Bird: bird does not learn to drive." It was exciting that Eunice and Maz came out, but even more of a treat was Scott! We had not seen him since the Italian Bird of 2002! He came along with his corgie Simba- a real cutie!
Here we are celebrating both the arrival of Scott and the arrival of the Fresh family (Thanksgiving mascots!):
Mr and Mrs Poppin' Fresh (aka Poppin' and Poppie) announce the arrival of two children to their clan: Baby Bun Bun and Little Poppie. These characters have a history amongst the regulars at Bird. This year saw the addition of children- oh oh!
We continued the celebration at the Shanty: Maz (Jay), CD, Eunice and Scott
The menu was traditional: Turkey, mashers, green bean casserole (aka "the Jeff and Karrie"), cranberries, gravy, yams (courtesy of randoms Stephanie and Craig) and stuffing. Pumpkin and pecan pies were also enjoyed! Lots of eating, conversing, laughing and dancing!

We also enjoyed going to the farmer's market, the beach (brrrr!) and the river.

Once again, many delicious meals with good friends = very happy!
