Thanksgiving Events

On Thanksgiving Day we did some haircuts in preparation for family pictures.  Yes, we shaved off baby S's curls again, but his hair was getting too long. 


 Brother M's turn for his haircut -- no fear. All old hat for him.

The girls just watched and laughed at their poor brothers/cousins.

We had enough snow for sledding down the little hill next to Grandpop's garage.






We thought the snow would be sticky enough for making a snowman, but it wasn't.  We ended up just making some mini snowmen on Grandpop's deck.

We had a "kid table" next to the adult table.  It worked great. Grandpop cooked a feast from scratch: Fresh Turkey (brined), whipped sweet potato casserole with pecan topping, and green bean casserole with homemade crispy onion topping. There were also about 6 types of pie. Uncle L made a delicious cheesecake from scratch.  We also had rhubarb, dutch apple, pumpkin (inedible because I forgot to put the sugar in at midnight when I was baking it, uggh!), walnut, and peanut butter chocolate.  I loved the walnut pie! Dad made it with honey and maple syrup instead of corn syrup.
