A Day of Play

The day afterThanksgiving we made a breakfast feast of ebilskievers, or evil schemers, whichever you prefer.  We made enough to feed an army and realized that 2 pans could be better than one.

 

After breakfast we headed up to Sand Harbor and then on to Tahoe Meadows for some sledding.

When we got home there was some Bananagrams and then the adults were off to our all time favorite, 168 Chinese Restaurant, where we were the minority and sole English speakers.  It's a good place.

Thanksgiving 2012

We were very lucky to have a full house for Thanksgiving this year.  We are so glad the Youngs and the parentals could come and join us.  Our day began with a Turkey Trot 5k organized by a friend in the ward.  It was a fun way to start the day.  Here are the participants, minus my Dad who is the photographer.

Some of the group gathering:

 Luscious and Ellie:

 After there was some food and beverage and good conversation:

 Cute Finn ran the whole way.  I was jogging along with Denice and Amber when I came across him slowly and steadily making his way.  We finished off together.  The next day he was super sore, but what a trooper!

Wendy, Amber, Me, and Denice:

 While we jogged Beck stayed home to play and be cute.  Because that is what he does:

Next up was the prep and the play.  I think the younger crew gets the better deal:

 Soon dinner was almost ready.  My Dad and Clara threw together a lovely centerpiece:

 Best apple pie I've ever eaten, for reals.  Thanks Mom:

 The turkey provided much excitement:

And finally it was time to eat.  Hooray!

Delicious!

 

And after all the feasting, digesting, napping, walking etc, we went to go see Rise of the Guardians.  A fabulous Thanksgiving!  Hooray!!!
