As usual Christie prepared a wonderful turkey dinner. That turkey was the juiciest ever and the dressing to die for. She definitely had a great teacher. And I want to thank both Brendan and Casey for the great job of slicing the turkey! This year instead of the traditional pumpkin pie she made a gooey pumpkin cake and we all agreed it is much much better than the pie. Note Kirby's homemade sourdough bread on the table.
After dinner we played Mexican Train and Casey won for the first time. (We didn't realize he had never won, but he told us) Yea! Casey!
Christie and Michael always take great pictures!It was Jake's first time to visit his best friend, Socks and he had a lot of learning to do. First he had to navigate the open stairs from the garage (where we contained them to say a frisky "Hi" to each other) to the house. Those stairs were scarrrrry. Then he had to try to walk on the hardwood floors. We took him upstairs later just to see what he would do. The stairs were carpeted so that part was good but he had to be cajoled into climbing them. The fun part was his trip back down where he took it nice and easy. The two dogs certainly have a good relationship going on - which is why we let Socks chose which dog she wanted!
Socks is the one decorated for Thanksgiving and Jake is the one tired from all of Sock's affection. Oh, but she does love that boy and is almost shameful in showing it!
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful day. It certainly is nice having family and/or good friends nearby to celebrate holidays. Kirb, that bread looks great!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely day! Bread looks lovely too! Now if I can just figure out which dog is which... I think Socks is sitting up? He is usually decorated and Jake was probably all tuckered out.
