Thanksgiving 2009

Like many of our southern California readers, we enjoyed a day of pleasant weather and sunshine. Oh wait....nevermind, it was 40 degrees all day, and pouring nonstop. Here is a glimpse of what I see almost daily (notice the little rivers moving down the slanting driveway):




We had an enjoyable morning drinking coffee, followed by making deviled eggs and sweet potato casserole. We headed over to Travis' family's house for Thanksgiving dinner:


Here is Travis with his grandma:


After we finished there we headed over to my good friend Lynette's family's home for some jewelry making and poker playing:



Lynette was probably licking off some of the delightful peppermint hot cocoa her aunt made for us (:

To conclude the night, Travis won us a whole $5 by winning second place in the Texas Hold Em tournament!



All in all we had a great day although we missed everyone down south. We definitely agree that we have a lot to be thankful for this year. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
