So maybe some of you have read the awkward family story on awkwardfamilyphotos.com that features a thanksgiving letter. Anyway, it’s a must read. We kind of have have the same thing in our family every other year when we get together with the Yashkos (my mom’s family). We have been instructed to bring a centerpiece every year since we have been married, but I think this is the first year we participated. This was our tribute to the pilgrims and the landing of the Mayflower at Plymouth Rock. It’s paper mache, and about 3 feet wide. We hoped this could end the “everyone bring a centerpiece” tradition, but it turns out everyone loved it. Next time we will have to make it bigger and more unsanitary. Maybe a 1:10 scale replica of the Mayflower complete with seasick pilgrims.
