Thanksgiving



We were doing some last minute shopping at Trader Joe's for our feast and the clerk asked what we were doing for the holiday, we told him that family was coming into town and we were cooking the meal at home. He proceeded to say we looked too young to be cooking the turkey....shoot, I think he was younger than me! Well, what we don't have for experience we make up for in boldness and it paid off. The meal was amazing! Annie put together a delicious feast that could not have been any better. Thanksgiving was a great day and Friday, Saturday and Sunday were all the same. The weather was beautiful, we had family around for most of it, had opportunity to get some Christmas decorations out and up, spent lots of time as a family and most of all had time to realize how much we have to be thankful for.



Evelyn was at no loss for attention over the weekend with grandparents in town and it was a joy for Annie and I to see her interact with them. Val and Paula drove down from Minnesota to arrive here Wednesday night. It was a great stay and we were able to do a number of things and still find plenty of time to relax.



Gotta love Thanksgiving!

  2. I never had any doubts things would be fantastic! Also, I love that you served Oregon wine! Even out of focus, I recognize that Van Duzer label. :)
