A Thanksgiving Tradition: My life through illustration

These are a pair of turkey salt and pepper shakers that my family has had for as long as I can remember. I believe I was five years old when I named them "Gobel" and "Stobel" respectively. I was also five years old the first time I decided to draw them. Since then, it's become somewhat of a Thanksgiving tradition for me to re-illustrate this pair every few years. Behold my ever evolving (or devolving?) turkey cartooning skills:
