We're at my parents' house in Scenic Whitney Point, NY, for Thanksgiving, so of course there's only one appropriate subject for the photo of the day:

That's our traditional turkey dinner, from my seat at the table. We ate very, very well, as always, and the kids have been generally very good (with a few minor squabbles). SteelyKid got bored during dinner, but I made up some math problems to entertain her, so all is well.
If you're celebrating Thanksgiving, I hope your day was full of awesome food and family and other stuff to be thankful for. If this isn't a holiday you observe, well, I hope your random November Thursday had those things, too.
