THANKSGIVING 2022

okay... fire pit

fire pit will be part of the plan

actually...

there were two backyard fire pits

but the adults stayed indoors this year

there was a fire in the fireplace

but...

the smoke in the house made it such that it was not worth it

or so my sons told me

so...

I did not continue the fire in the fire place during the gathering

turkey and sides

yes... classic Thanksgiving

for years I had a Christmas Eve Tradition of Paella

but... not this year

expensive

lots of work

not feeling it

maybe Swanson has a Christmas dinner?

turkey... sides... and a dessert!

these photos are more of the same...

love getting the cousins together

love seeing the cousins together
