T-minus two weeks

The BIG DAY (and by that, I of course mean Thanksgiving) is rapidly approaching and I could not be more excited. The menu is still under development, so I have nothing to share on that front, at least for now. In the meantime, here's a hilarious picture of Wyatt in his Halloween costume (He'd be so embarrassed if he knew I was sharing this with the world):

And moving on. So, I really enjoyed plowing through all those foodie quotes a few weeks back, so I thought I'd share some Turkey Day related ones -- some heartfelt, some humorous, all relate-able. Enjoy!
