THANKSGIVING

So waiting for Thanksgiving to come I decided to start doing some of my 20 puzzles. So every day the week before I would work on a puzzle before getting ready for work...most were fairly easy but this puzzle which took me 3 days to complete was my nemisis.


Sierra came home the Friday before Thanksgiving and when she was busy babysitting I was working on this puzzle.

This year it was JUST THE 3 of us for THANKSGIVING usually we have a house full of guests. It was nice and very casual.

When we got up Doug and Sierra did the pies together.
Doug made the crusts and Sierra made the fillings.

Sierra shaking the apples and cinnamon for the apple pie.

Doug made the rolls.
                                        Pies made and rolls rising...

We decided to just bowl at home this year so we played Wii Bowling.

 We bowled 3 games

Here are some actions shots!




  He reminds me of Fred Flintstone when he bowls :)


Sierra is a casual bowler...ho hum

 I am an intense bowler.... I want to knock all the pins down
every time or at least get the spare.

 "STRIKE" finally

We had fun then it was time to work on the sides for dinner...

When we went into the kitchen this is what we saw out the back window apparently our squirrel decided that pumpkin would make a mighty fine Thanksgiving dinner...


                                 Sierra was in charge of mashed potatoes


                                           "MASH"ing the potatoes
                                 She also made Grandma As whipped jello


                                 This is what it looks like when it is set
                                    and it tastes like a raspberry cloud...


                    The turkey was done around 1:30pm and we ate at 2.

Doug's yummy rolls

                                   Doug's succulent brined turkey :D

The table set for dinner.
 We kept the hot stuff on the stove

It was a FABULOUS meal!

                             After dinner we played some board games



Playing Blokus

                       These are the games we played the rest of the evening.
                             My subjects got tired of me taking pictures...
