Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Swing, Swing, Swing! Anni loves to swing. If we find one at a park or farm, she has to give in a whirl! And once she finds a swing, she never forgets where it is.

Anni is thankful for swings, her dog Barkley, her brother and sister, and Arthur.

Alex is thankful for his mom's cooking, lego blocks, Nintendo, and art.

Ari is thankful for espresso drinks, her mom and dad, and books.

David is thankful for his family, a steady job he enjoys, and roof over his head.

Julie Ann is thankful for her family and friends, creative endeavors, and being open to all the many wonders of life.

We are all NOT thankful to our 20 year old oven. It chose 3/4 of the way through Thanksgiving dinner to die! Then it was time for some quick thinking. The turkey breast was hastily & thinly sliced and placed in a large saute pan along with the gravy. The rolls were transfered to the toaster oven. The roasting veggies finished up in the steamer. The stuffing went into the microwave, and the pumpkin pie was set on top of the toaster oven to stay warm. Despite, the alternate cooking arrangements, the dinner was delicious! David is going to give a try at fixing it and then it maybe time for a call to the repairman. We're hoping we can fix it soon as it's the height of the baking season (and I still have all that pumpkin puree to deal with).
