Thanksgiving

Plenty of food, some family, games, our holiday celebration was just right. The only thing missing was a nap.

This year was the first we have had Thanksgiving dinner at our house. My youngest sister Liisa was here, and her boyfriend Paul, and Mark's youngest sister Maryann had one day off from work so she drove over to join us. It was a good day. Nora took her hostess duties seriously and made sure that no one lacked interaction.

Lunch menu: turkey, dressing, gravy, rolls, glazed carrots and parsnips, steamed broccoli and cauliflower, mashed sweet potatoes, and Liisa's famous cranberry sauce.
After reading the paper we had pumpkin pie and apple tart. Some of us played Bang! We had sandwiches, cheese, and fruit for dinner. Nora coerced Liisa and Paul into playing Tier auf tier. Notice my new gallery wall that Liisa put up.
