Thanksgiving

We had a terrific Thanksgiving thanks to the head chef in our family. Dan is an expert at grilling so why not grill a turkey? He used a dry rub that seasoned the turkey like pastrami and then grilled it. It turned out so good. It made all my little side dish contributions seem pretty simple.

Donald loved the idea of grilling for Thanksgiving because he wants to be outside all the time. He especially loves a chance to be in the snow.

The boys had fun playing with our neighbor Logan although they stayed in their own respective yards.

Here is the feast. Everyone really enjoyed it, except Adrian and Charlie could have done without the green beans. Donald wasn't much in favor of any of the Thanksgiving fare. He wouldn't even taste the potatoes and the faces he made over the green beans and stuffing were less than thankful. He didn't even eat a roll.

Here is our little Cinderella. She was so thankful her Dad and I worked so hard making a nice dinner she didn't even mind doing the dishes. Shari loaded the dishwasher and the boys helped with wiping and sweeping. It was quite the family effort.

While the after dinner work was getting done Dan and I practiced for our Pie and Rock Band party at the Hunter's. It was so much fun to see everyone and enjoy my favorite thing about thanksgiving, PIE. Donald finally found a Thankgiving food he likes when he tried whip cream and chocolate pudding pie.

It was a great day and we have so much to be thankful for.
