Thanksgiving 2011

About 15 of us gathered at my brother's house and enjoyed a great meal and good company. I was getting a kick out of their dog Starbuck who was making the rounds, soaking up the attention.




Leilani is so sweet and friendly, and she wasn't shy showing us her outfit...

Let's EAT!




A beautiful end to a nice day...

I made cupcakes from the DC Cupcakes (Georgetown Cupcakes) recipe. Pretty yummy if I do say so myself.
