"In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." –John 16:33

Thanksgiving 2008

We have started preparing for Thanksgiving.  Everyone is in the kitchen except me (I might wreck or eat stuff so I am banned).  Updates will follow.


Thanksgiving Prep Crew

Grandpa’s Stuffing Sausage

The new Thermador put to good use

Flowers for the table

Dad gets banned to the blogging couch

Lorena makes FLAN!!!

“If I put it in at 11:43 and want it to be in for one hour, when do I take it out? They did not teach me this when I took calculus.”

Grandpa Milo cooking with Kelly and Christian

Here is what they were cooking

She was not going to tell me how she lit the candle without burning herself

The only thing for which Dad is qualified is mashing the potatoes–this year Grandpa Milo added a special mix of chipotle, fresh roasted corn kernels, and butter

Grandma Sarah makes the best gravy in the history of the world

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

    I am so thankful for your family and friendship over the years!

    So nice that you all could be together! Thanks for sharing the pictures.

  2. Dad

    Thanks Bryan! We feel the same about you. I saw that picture you sent me of me sitting in a chair in your house playing an electronic game and it got me to thinking of exactly the same thing. We have a lot for which we can be thankful–friendships like yours at the top of the list.

    That looks DELICIOUS! I wish I could at least partake in the leftovers – do you think stuffing holds up in the mail?

  5. Dad

    The stuffing was AWESOME!!! We really wish you could have been here with us. Plan for next year.
