Thanksgiving

We had Jim's nephew Ryan and his family to our home for Thanksgiving.  They battled a New England snow storm and traffic nightmare to arrive.  We had a lovely time.

Wanda is an incredible cook but graciously allowed me to still be in charge in my kitchen. Which endeared her to me even more. Wanda and I cooked and baked for two solid days and on the third day we shopped.  A lot.


The kids had a great time together, their girls are absolutely precious.  Sophia wasn't quite 3 months yet and there was Wanda cooking away and taking care of her girls.  What I am trying to say is that we are rock stars.

The boys played video games and helped with all the preparations and child care as well.  It was a fun time. It was also the first time in years that I have made a turkey! I was so proud.


Thanksgiving is a lot of work (and I don't know why that picture of Wanda is so small)! Maybe next year we go out for the meal??
