It was a small group this year. It was the off year when everyone is at the in-laws. We had Lynda Ann, Jeff and family and Lyndsy, James and River. 12 people and one table. Couldn’t believe how easy it was to set things up. However, cooking a Thanksgiving dinner is always a big deal and always takes lots of pots and pans. This is my favorite dinner to cook. I LOVE the left overs from a turkey dinner. Lynda Ann did her usual creative item for dinner. This year we got teepee and acorns! They were not only fun to look at but were delicious!!
The traditional dinner
Maren, Greg and the kids came over about 6:00 and we played some games. Lynda Ann had to work so her family headed for home about 5:00. James also had to work and he left about 4:00. We played Nickels to Nickels with the first group and Mahjong with the second group. A very fun evening. And yes, as you can see in the background, we had the boys help Neal put up the tree and Greg changed the screen to glass in the front door. Having my kids do stuff for us every year makes me feel totally like a senior citizen!! We totally appreciate their help. Thanks men! Lyndsy helped me put some bulbs on the tree which certainly made my job go faster. Decorating that big tree is a project! Thanks, Lyndsy.
