Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving preparations actually begin the night before.  I like to get the tables set up and some of the food ready to be cooked the next day, the turkey stuffed and in the oven at midnight and the rolls raising very slowly in the frig overnight.  It was also a night for sleepovers at Lynda Ann's home.  Jamie and I drove the three girls to Stansbury and left them there playing games.  I love that the grandchildren are taking up the tradition of table games.

 We noticed that Annie had some interesting things on the counter that she was in the process of making for Thanksgiving.  This year her idea didn't turn out quite like she had hoped so she bagged the idea and we didn't get to see the finished project.  She said it was supposed to be a turkey leg made out of pretzels and marshmallows and rice krispies.  However it just didn't come together.  We had a good laugh.

 Jamie and I drove back and picked up Neal and Tucker who had been setting up the tables and chairs.  We went to Cafe Rio for dinner along with a bunch of other people who had the very same idea.  When we got home we played a round of Shanghi and then off to bed.  It was a fun day.
