Thanksgiving is a holiday celebrated differently by everyone, one thing in common is that the holiday is celebrated normally by gathering with family and loved ones. I love to see different families traditions on these types of holidays and experience them for myself. This Thanksgiving I traveled to Baker City, Oregon and shot photos of the entire thanksgiving process.
Before any of the fun and games start on thanksgiving there is always loving mothers and grandmothers behind the scenes getting the food started for the main event; dinner. Of course the food being prepared here is an all-time favorite, mashed potatoes.

After getting the food started it is time to sit down, enjoy some snacks, and play some cards and dice in this families thanksgiving tradition.
Before any of the eating can happen grandma sets the table with the fine china. Here you see Julie Johnson setting the table right before the turkey is ready to come out of the oven and everyone sits down to eat.
A seasoned turkey carving expert, Larry Vandehey slices into the bird, forcing anyone within the house to start salivating.
After the meal, Vandehey instills his years of knowledge to Kelly Street over a couple drinks and of course the pumpkin pie.

Shortly after this shot the tryptophan from the turkey and the continuous drinks throughout the day began to take their toll on us all and everyone was soon in a deep sleep. Only to wake up the next morning wishing it was thanksgiving morning again with another delicious turkey waiting in the oven.
