Omg this is cute!! but perhaps because we don’t do thanks giving so I’ve never seen this kind ofpicture before?! Also it would not be allowedin marneys house… There would have to be designated child and turkey bringers along with designated photographer and allotted clothing!
I’m not sure that that’s actually the floor the girl and the turkey are sitting on. It could be a table, covered with a table cloth, pushed up against a wall with a chair rail.
I’m also not completely sure that the thumb isn’t photoshopped. Maybe it’s real, but it looks kind of big for the girl’s hand.
That is a real “thumb suckers” thumb. They do look bigger and flatter, reallY! No doubt she had just had it in her mouth when they plopped that turkey down next to her. This is adorable…
Love the “thumbs up,” love the dress flopping onto the turkey, love the “up do” hairstyle. Maybe this is a photo of Marney at the first Thanksgiving she organized (and after a bottle of clos du bois).
If it IS Marney she hadn’t yet achieved “regulation thickness” orange slices, I see irregular sizes… Years later I’m sure she now serves them at a uniform3/8″
I’m sorry – Maybe it’s my tryptophan induced semi-after-Thanksgiving-coma, but this seems like such a tired, old photo idea that I can’t even get a low grumpy umph from it . . .

I love this photo. It should be made into a greeting card.
I am just wondering why the turkey is plated with pecan spinwheels?
Take THAT, Grandma Marnie!
I think this was taken in my house… about thirty years ago. I know this because of that tile. That and the fact that the turkey is still there.
“Please don’t eat your other thumb! Here, have some turkey instead!”
Why does this lil cutie look hammered lol
I guess it’s not saying much for my house that I have linoleum that looks just like that pattern.
Is her dress actually touching the turkey ?
Anyways, not too awkward… but very cute.
My youngest is that age and it’s just the sweetest age. Still soft and cuddly, old enough to have a sense of humor. This is so cute.
Thanksgiving at Hannibal Lecter’s house.
Great photo! Only one question – is the turkey in time out?
It looks more like an overdone chicken then a turkey. The whole picture is just plain wierd and unsettling. Very awkward.
Love that her shoes are on the wrong feet!! Hope they have the 10 second rule at that house!!??
Nice catch! I missed that entirely.
And so, little baby Gabby laughs as she thinks about how she rid herself of her younger brother. “Heh heh, and they all think this is a turkey…”
You’ve gotta be right, Jessica. That explains why my sister always looked at me funny around Thanksgiving!
Looks a bit over cooked to me,
I remember this photo from last year. But still very awkward.

I was going to say the same thing!
Thumb sucker all the way.
Not awkward ! this is just the cutest pic ever !
Toss me the remote, Dad, I wanna watch some football!
This clearly isn’t a family with a dog.
I was thinking the same thing, that bird would have be ingested in 1 minute flat!

Of course it’s Marney! See how she coerced her little brother into arranging the orange slices around the turkey, but she takes the credit?

Weird and kinda creepy.
This would NEVER be allowed at Marney’s, although the floor would probably be clean enough to eat off, if only in Marney’s mind.
But this whole set up confuses me. Who puts the bird on the floor? With the thumb’s up, did the little girl prepare it?
Hence the name….AWKWARD family photos?
It’s Shake ‘n Bake, and I helped!!
She’ll be happy until the dog shows up. Then, watch out.
I think you put the turkey on the floor when you’ve burnt it to crisp and no one is going to eat it anyway.
I’m sorry – Maybe it’s my tryptophan induced semi-after-Thanksgiving-coma, but this seems like such a tired, old photo idea that I can’t even get a low grumpy umph from it . . .
Yeah, everybody poses the turkey on the floor with the baby, don’t they?
Ha! Sihaya…you’re funny!
*LOL!*
She gives the meal, “One thumb up.”
What a turkey! And the poultry’s funny too!
Too cute.
I . Love. This
