Thanksgiving Day 2009



Chickens in disguise as turkeys once again fooled our taste buds this Thanksgiving.  Maybe it is all the normal fixin's that help them along.  This year we had ham, sweet potato casserole with marshmallows, sauteed green beans, macaroni and cheese, stuffing and rolls.  For dessert we had pumpkin pie, pumpkin rolls, carrot cake, and berry cobbler (with berries from our back yard).  The food was only a very small portion of our day.



Our special guests for the day were Daniel and Amparo Lopez and their daughters, Debora, Cesia, and Keren along with Rebeca, Sebastian and Rudy.  Juan Carlos also stopped by for some fellowship.  The guys started off watching futbol (soccer) because there was no American football to see.  Then they headed outside to fellowship.  Meanwhile the ladies were finishing up the meal...and I was setting the oven on fire.


 You know I don't do it on purpose but it has literally become a tradition for us to have some sort of fire on Thanksgiving.


After lunch we began our traditional game of Dominoes.





 Took a break for dessert.


 Played some SPOONS.



And finished Dominoes.

Spoons was a riot to play. These guys are easy to have fun with.
