A few Thanksgiving photos

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner.  Here are a few photos:

First the guests of honor.  We were profoundly humbled that Gladys was able to spend Thanksgiving with us.

Also my old boss Andrew and his (soon to be) veterinarian Sara.  We were especially thankful these people were so gracious to listen to Grandpa Milo’s and Dad’s stories. We are hoping they make this a tradition with us!

It does not seem like it is Thanksgiving if Grandpa Milo is not taking charge of the cooking.

Lorena cooked, too!

Grandma Sarah is her usual joyful self.

Kelly gives instruction to Kiwi about not bothering the guests while they are eating.

We all have a great time.  This must have been during one of Grandpa Milo’s “true” stories.

Lorena laughs

We sat at the table from about 2:30 PM to about 8:30 PM.  It was an awesome Thanksgiving!

After the meal

Update:  Warren (who is often with us for Thanksgiving) has a wonderful Thanksgiving post here.

Day 94 of 1000

Thanksgiving Eve with Lorena, Kelly, andGrandma SarahThanksgiving Eve with Gladys, Christian, and Grandpa MiloLast night, we had a wonderful dinner of French onion soup, french bread, cheddar cheese, and pizza.  It sounds a little odd writing it, but it tasted great.  We all sat around the table and talked for a couple of hours after dinner, then made our way to the couch and continued talking until about 1:00 AM this morning.  We got the turkey in at around 9:00 AM.  Andrew and Sara will show up just in time for dinner.  I will put some cooking and eating pictures up later.
