In November, we celebrated Grandma Velva's 89th birthday. The celebration turned into an entire month long event, concluding with the arrival of the Ambuskes and the Aufills the week of Thanksgiving. It was a busy week; lots of food and drink, leading up to the final event, Thanksgiving dinner. The kids both had school feasts on the final day before the short break, which we attended (see pictures.) Thanksgiving was hosted at our house. In addition to the usual fried turkey, we decided to try a second turkey, roasted in an oven bag. Both turned out great. Of course the meal was completae with all the customary trimmings. Present at dinner, in addition to our immediate family, were Mike, Emily, Grace, and Bennet Ambuske; John and Carol Aufill, Grandma Velva, and Chris's dad Jim. Click here for pictures.
