It wouldn't be Thanksgiving without the Turkey!

Meet... The Turkey! He...or is it a she? Well it has been at almost every family Thanksgiving since, well since me or any of my siblings can remember. Even those nontraditional years when we didn't have the kind of turkey most people think of at Thanksgiving. Grandma would get him (or she) out and put suckers in it and then after we ate all the grandkids that wanted one could have all the suckers they wanted (or that their parents allowed). She (or he) even made it to a couple Christmas's.

We also always seem to have Turkey cookies at Thanksgiving, it's always fun to make them with cousins. :) I hadn't realized till this year how many kinds of Turkey we have at our family gatherings, my niece (almost two years old!) was getting a little confused by all of the kinds of Turkey. hehehe
