2009 Thanksgiving

What a fantastic Thanksgiving it was this year.....I might even say the best yet and Aron would agree. Aron deep fried a turkey and I prepared all the fixin's. Irene made great pies as usual and Kathy brought the appetizers. It was great to visit with Cory and Diana. You would have thought it was Christmas Eve with all the giddy excitement the boys had in anticipation of his arrival.

Cory did the honors carving the turkey.
The boys helped set the table and decorate it. Jacob did a wonderful job folding the napkins in a rose pattern.
Friday we left for our usual trip to anywhere, anywhere along the coast. The park was great. We had an ocean front view, a pool and spa. During the day, we went on long, long hikes and stopped to see what we could find in the tide pools. At night we went in the spa and pool. Well, I stayed in the spay, the boys and Aron are more adventurous and hopped between the two.












Oh yeah, and it was some one's birthday.....Jacob turned 9. After dinner we opened gifts. As you can see from the photo below, it was not easy for Jacob to wait. He had a birthday pumpkin pie and we sang him a song.
