Mom decided that she was going to host Thanksgiving this year so Brian and I ended up with two Thanksgiving dinners the other day. Our first one was at 2 PM at Brian’s parent’s house. It’s our traditional Brubaker Thanksgiving, complete with Phase 10 post-grubbing.<\/p>\n

I have no idea why my father-in-law is making that face. Don’t ask. LOL.<\/p>\n

Thanksgiving at the Brubakers’ consisted of grandma and grandpa Brubaker, Brian’s parents, Chad, Brian and me. We held Chad hostage that day (sorry Cory and April — that is why he didn’t make it to you guys’ place) and took him to my mom’s turkey-less Thanksgiving so he could try some Filipino food, which he said he never had before. <\/p>\n

Jenni, Jen and Armando were there. A couple of mom’s friends joined us also. Sadly, the Cannadys couldn’t make it because they were already stuffed from multiple Thanksgiving feasts themselves. Apple and Andrew were in Louisiana, and David and Donna opted not to come because Donna had a headache.<\/p>\n

Oh, and we didn’t end up being turkey-less at mom and dad’s after all because Armando brought Cajun turkey from Louisiana. That’s how it looked above after it was carved and ravaged. LOL.<\/p>\n

This is supposed to be humba<\/em>, but the picture is too dark.<\/p>\n

Chad didn’t mind the pancit<\/em>. He actually likes vermicelli noodles.<\/p>\n

Dinuguan<\/em> is pictured above. Yum! Made Chad eat it without telling him what it’s made of; I’m mean, I know. He didn’t like it too much, I think.<\/p>\n

Lumpia<\/em> is a popular favorite. No Filipino feast is complete without it. I had a picture of the sisig<\/em> too, but I guess it didn’t make it to Flickr. Bummer. I personally don’t like sisig<\/em>. I managed to talk chad into trying it. He didn’t mind the flavor as much as the texture. It is a bit weird.<\/p>\n

Here are some pictures from Thanksgiving last year<\/a>. We played Phase 10 then too<\/a>, as we do every year.<\/p>\n
