Thanksgiving 2010

Happy Thanksgiving!!
We've had a good day at our house and everyone helped with dinner.
This was our Assignment Summary (created by Aaron):
Sarah: Turkey, cranberry sauce.
Aaron: Peach pie, mashed potatoes, stuffing.
Mom: Rolls, yams with marshmallows, green bean casserole.
Dad: Veggie dip with veggies, homemade Root-beer, homemade Ice-cream (pumpkin flavored).

Sarah folded fancy napkins:



Aaron liked the dry ice vapors from the root beer:




We had a fire going, but it didn't last long enough. Our log was too big! We should have chopped it up more. Oh well, it was nice for awhile and we learned something:




Our table was full of food. We'll be eating turkey for awhile. Not shown is Sarah's awesome cranberry sauce (made from fresh cranberries), or the pie and ice-cream:




After the big clean-up we gathered in the dinning room for a couple hours of games:


When we'd had enough of that we adjourned to the basement for two episodes of Dr. Who (modern version). That is one weird show (I liked it).
We'll all be up for awhile yet and we have a long weekend to look forward too.
It's good to have some time together as family and to reflect on everything we can be grateful for.
