A Thanksgiving Morning to Remember

Now that we are a family of 4 (plus various critters) we have had to abandon the practice of traveling for Thanksgiving to visit relatives. It's just too logistically complicated to take such a long trip in such a short period of time. 

But even though it's just us here for Thanksgiving, we do try to maintain those traditions that make the holiday so meaningful. For example, I'm sure we weren't the only one observing the age-old ritual of guinea pig bathing on Thanksgiving morning.

We all know how clean pigs really get you in the holiday spirit:

Then there was the time-honored Thanksgiving puppy wrestling. Here is Julie demonstrating the reverse chinlock. 

Murphy retaliated with the kneeling figure four leglock.  It's such an advanced move, his poor victim doesn't even realize what's hit her yet.  But she will.  She will.

And, of course, we shared quality family time together visiting the storage locker to return the Halloween decorations.  Because if there's one thing to be thankful for this time of the year, it's that the giant, hairy spider and gory, skeleton pirates have been safely packed away for another year.

Very cute! I can't believe Murphy already mastered the figure four leg lock! Poor, unsuspecting Julie...
