Thanksgiving 2008

We had a really nice Thanksgiving. No pictures this year...I'm a little picture/videoed out right now after band and gymnastics competition season. It was just Harry, the kids, and me for dinner. We had all of our favorites. This is how Harry describes Thanksgiving dinner, "We need to have turkey, and gravy, and mashed potatoes, and gravy, and stuffing, and gravy, and corn, and gravy, and..." He would be completely happy if I put a pitcher of gravy in front of him and he could drown his full plate in it. I can't fault him, though, the gravy turned out really yummy this year. Plus, Harry was really good and ran 5 miles on Thanksgiving morning (He did 8.1 last Saturday...he'll do that plus some this Saturday). After our feast, the kids and I started to put together a puzzle. We enjoy putting together the photo mosaic puzzles...specifically, the Disney ones. They are a lot of fun. At 7:00 pm, we went over to our friends the Pulsipher's and played games, snacked, and at dessert with them, the Browne's, and the Rineer's. We played a game called Songburst '70's & '80's edition. It was so much fun! The object of the game is to finish the song lyric with only a few words given to you. We laughed and laughed as we all got hung up on the lyrics to these songs that we've been singing all of our lives. I was on a team with Ron & Pam Rineer and Charissa Browne. We won, of course :c). The dessert was GREAT, too! I made a Dutch apple pie. Bob Browne made a pumpkin mousse pie with a gingersnap crust (YUM!!); and then, there was a chocolate silk pie, a regular pumpkin pie, and who knows what else. With all of the kids there, the chocolate pie was the first to go. It was a great day.
