Thanksgiving Weekend 2018

My mother and Gramps came up for Thanksgiving last November. There were only six of us but we still had a full Thanksgiving dinner. Mom baked 2 pies and most of the sides, and Gramps made the soup. I prepped the turkey and Adrian cooked it in the Big Green Egg. This is very convenient since it frees up the oven for everything else. While the bird was cooking, Adrian, Gramps and the kids went for a frozen walk in the Fells. This year we actually remembered to take family photos. Veronica also provided a little entertainment with her recorder. Our tradition for Friday is to get our Christmas tree at the local garden center. Since we don't spend Christmas at home, we like to enjoy the tree for as long as possible before we leave. We let the tree open up for a day, then the kids had fun decorating it with their ornaments. On Sunday we went ice skating with family friends. It was Max's first time and Veronica's third, and they did very well considering their friends were with good skaters. While we skated my mom baked cookies that the kids decorated when we got home. All-in-all, a very good Thanksgiving weekend!
