The plan was that the in-laws would show up at 6am (just like they did last year) and pop a pre-stuffed turkey in the oven. Well - they showed up at 9:30am. Let me introduce you to the current cast of characters...
Bren - my wife
Jason - that's me!
Fiona - the dog
Rich - father in law
JoAnn - mother in law
Clorinda - sister in law
Briar - niece
Bren just took off for Marie Calenders to pick up some specialty pies with clorinda and briar - leaving me alone with rich. yay...
