Thanksgiving 2010

This year for Thanksgiving we went to Lisa's house. We went to Lisa's house last year too because she has 2 ovens and it makes cooking a lot of food so much easier. I have talked before about my Germany family, but we've never had a picture of us all together. So, before we sat down to eat the super delicious food, we posed for a picture. In back, from left to right: me, Jer, Casey, Lisa, Lamon. On the couch: Christina, Abby, Matt. In the front: Buster the dog, who is looking the wrong way.
I am thankful for these people. They are some of my best friends.
After eating our grub, we played games. Real games. The kind that don't require a television or controller. Those are the best kind where there's always laughing, talking and fun. Include a few pies and Lisa's now famous pistachio dessert, this Thanksgiving was one of the best! Now, I know some of you can't taste Lisa's infamous pistachio dessert. I'm sorry for you. I was skeptical when I first heard about it last year before Thanksgiving. I like pistachios ok, but I'm not a big fan of nuts and will more often leave them than take them. But Lisa's pistachio dessert wins the blue ribbon! It is always a hit and everyone ALWAYS wants more than one piece. This is amazing stuff.
We had our first snow on Thanksgiving. I love snow. I can't say it enough.
So, after helping Lisa clean up the kitchen and hundreds of dishes, Jer and I headed home.
It was a nice drive home. Our mouths were still thanking us for eating such good food, and our stomachs were hoping we were done. When we got home, we found the PERFECT end to Thanksgiving/start of Christmas season. Our Secret Santa has struck again! Thank you, Secret Santa!
