O, Where Art Thou Mr. Turkey?

Hey all of my the holidays are upon us and I am thankful, I have some teeth to eat the delicious food that this time of year has to offer, Peeps!!! So Mama, Dad-O and I stayed up in farm country this year for Mr. Turkey Day.


Our Aunt Cookie said that she would host "The Meal" this year! Aunt Lindsay, Cousin Jake, Aunt Monica, Uncle Ryan, Great Grandma Alta, Great Grandpa Carl, Noni and Papa Rich all joined us up here in V-Town to give some Thanks!


Of course, the night before Thanksgiving, Mama could not wait to put me in some Christmas PJ's....


Mama, could we not have waited just one more evening until the Turkey dinner was complete before showcasing the Santa and reindeer jams???


Oh, what the turkey hay stack?!


I love the festive heart you have Mama!!! You are #1 in my Christmas Spirit book!


After taking a few photos of me in my seasonal PJs...


 It was time to get dressed for the holiday at hand!


Happy Turkey and Football Day!!!


You know, this year I got a little confused...


Mama greeted everyone this day with, "Happy, Happy Turkey Day!"


And, everyone always speaks of the Turkey as the star guest of this show...


But, when we got to Aunt Cooks, there was no Mr. Turkey tanning in her kitchen!


That's right!


Escape of the Turkey Saga commenced...


I was on a mission. I was going to find that star of this Guerra Thanksgiving show if it was the only thing I did for the day!


I know Aunt Cookie has some cats, so my train of thought- "choo choo"- was maybe the fur babes knew where Turkey was... and hopefully not in their tum tums.


But not even the cats could be found... Boy, oh boy! No animal wants to make an appearance on this day. 


I looked in the halls for Turkey.


I looked in the formal living room for Turkey.


I took Dad-O with me to have him help me look... Mr. Turkey didn't even show up for my Dad-O...


Now this was getting serious.


Suddenly, I heard Noni say that she had a special Turkey for Cousin Jake and for Me! Finally, I thought, Mr. Star Bird was found!


You have got to be kidding me!



I mean, Felt Turkey was awesome and all as our Thanksgiving baskets (Thank you Noni), but I was expecting a different kind of Turkey.


After opening my Thanksgiving Basket and discovering my awesome Thomas The Train Engine (which I love!), I was back to work.


Sherlock London's my name.


And finding Mr. Turkey's my game.


This is no surprise, but Mama and Dad-O wanted to take a few Family pictures in between my Turkey journey.



I tried.


I really did.


But I have a one track mind.


I was going to be the hero of this Thanksgiving.


And all of a sudden...


It came to me!


While kicking' back in my Bat Mobile- SIDE NOTE: pardon my socks, a little dirty from all of the Turkey Travels.


I got it! Papa Rich! There was one place at Aunt Cookies that I had not yet thought of to look for Mr. Turkey...


The backyard patio!


And there he was, tanning in the November sun.


Escape of the Turkey Saga had come to a happy...


And yummy, end.


Aunt Cookie, Noni and Great Grandma Alta did a totally delish job with Mr. Turkey and his sidekicks! And just to add the most special time to this awesome Thanksgiving, we all got to celebrate Grandpa Carl's Birthday and let him know how loved and wonderfully special he truly is!
