There were a couple cousins who live out of town that got to meet Calvin for the first time - cousin Lydia and Lea spending some quality time with baby Calvin.
The dinner spread was impressive. When we arrived there just a few things on the table (including the bacon-covered Turkey...that's right...), but the dishes kept coming as the night went on.
The turkey was almost bigger than Calvin.
It seemed to be a bacon themed Thanksgiving this year. In addition to the turkey being covered in bacon, Phil's cousins had made a "bacon explosion". And what is a bacon explosion you ask? It's a layer of bacon strips interlaced together...
spread with I believe Italian sausage, and more bacon....
and then rolled up all nice.
And the end product is a huge chunk of meaty goodness...Yum! ^__^
Phil's sister, Winnie, came up from North Carolina and was able to spend some quality time with her nephew.
And Calvin, being the well-behaved boy that he is, left her a little present on her leg...We all thought it was pee, but boy were we wrong...
But we got him all cleaned up and dressed in a new outfit and everybody was all smiles again.
And a Thanksgiving with Phil's family wouldn't be complete without some Wii playing. Phil showed off more of his dancing skills busting a move to Michael Jackson's "Beat It", along with Lydia and Angel.
Even Calvin got in on the dancing action...with some help from Lucia of course. ^__^
After everyone exhausted themselves from all the dancing it was time for dessert, and there was plenty of it. There were cream puffs, chocolate chip cheesecake...
the pumpkin cheesecake, and 4 different flavors of ice cream - including thousand year old egg flavored! (Phil's cousin, Lucia, is very creative with her ice cream flavors) and my chocolate Thin Mint girl scout cookie ice cream. I was in a bit of a rush though, so it came out a little soupy.
There was also a coconut cake and strawberry shortcake birthday cake to celebrate Phil's mom and Lucia's birthdays.
