Thanksgiving

We did not host Thanksgiving again this year, but we sure did do some cooking!

We made pies and rolls and ice cream and salad.. and then headed over to the Schaans late afternoon.

Chris, Michelle, Bella and Kat welcomed us, along with their dog, cat, rescue bird, and cameleon named Blaze.

Bella's rose napkins

Two kinds of green beans and stuffing, chickens and a turkey.. and mashed potatoes of course!

and squashes... yum!

We were also there with the de Marcken-Sampson family.. 

so the kids table was (clockwise from Eben) - Eben, Bella, Mia, Jaffa, Kat
and Leo (yes, he is holding a turkey leg).

The grown-ups were (clockwise from Zoey) - 

Zoey, Chris, Zeric, Natasha, Adam, Michelle, and Aaron

We ate and ate and ate.. and drank.. and then ate pie! There was apple, cherry, pecan and pumpkin.

And then.. brought but not eaten.. was Jaffa's first ever pie: kiwi custard! 

We ate it the next day, when we could really appreciate it.. and it was fantastic!!
