At the last minute I made a concession and pulled a switch. I say concession not because Q's fam is such, but because it was in the plans to eat at Grandma Polly's and anytime you miss a Stirland meal, you've made a concession.

In summation, we surprised Q's mom by showing up for Thanksgiving dinner in Payson. Here's round 1 of the photo turket day tour:

It was a struggle waking up out of her coma
but Annie made an appearance just in time for desert.
P.S. Thank you Annie for helping me lose Seth's Thanksgiving Day weight gain contest.
Apparently nursing really does make a difference.
I was the only one who actually lost weight between dinner start and dinner end.
