Thanksgiving - A bit overdue

I have been a bit behind on blogging lately as we have moved into our new home and "nesting." A post to come on that later

Thanksgiving this year was a blast. Matt, Lemmon and I drove home to Jackson and my dad and our family friend Phil flew into town as well. Here is a group shot from dinner at the King Edward hotel!

Fried Turkey - has become the Trifone tradition over the years. Mark typically makes two - just for fun. This year they were cajun spiced and delicious!!!

The annual Trifone family Thanksgiving football game. This year was particularly painful as everyone except of course my mom and Matt realized how out of shape we are. lol.

Nathan and Mark trying to teach Lemmon to fetch. She STILL doesn't understand that you have to drop the ball when you bring it back. At least it was distracting her from eating the firewood in the backyard for a bit.

Grandpa LOVES little Lemmon (who thinks she is a 50 pound lap dog!!)

"No shave November" was a success for Nathan and Mark. My dad has had a mustache since he was 18 and for Thanksgiving this year Nathan threw down the competition gauntlet to see who could grow the best "John Trifone Stash." Due to his corporate job - Matt was only able to grow a 2 day old stash, but he tried :-) We surprised my dad at the airport with the mustaches and he LOVED it!

My dad's birthday is November 29 (which is fun bc mine is 7/29 and Matt's is 4/29) so we got to do an early bday celebration with him!!!

Lemmon did SOOO well in the car. As her crate doesn't even come close to fitting in the car she was in her seatbelt the entire time and slept like a baby. She had plenty of space back there, but for some reason decided to sleep per the below!
