Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a good long Thanksgiving weekend.

I made 3 recipes out of Grandma Doris's cookbook. It's funny to me that this is called Crystal's Salad (and we all call it that!) - so named just because I like it a lot. 


It's the same reasoning behind Lana's Cornbread Casserole, I think. 

Grandma Lora's Dressing is not the most specific recipe - I comment every year on the "cornbread the size of your hand" direction. Next year, we'll remember it takes quite a bit longer than an hour in the oven. 


We missed out on a group photo! Just us and Mom and Steve & Holly & her boyfriend. Allie couldn't come at the last minute, but we sent her a plate. At some point, Jim stole my phone and took this photograph of his plate - mashed potatoes with a side of sweet potato casserole. 


In fact, this picture of the dog was the only picture I took all day on Thursday. We wore him out.


Amelie had some homework to get caught up on: 


We put up some Christmas decorations. 


This is part of my Grandma Wanda's Christmas village. One of Sam's dad's cousins did the needlework. 

Holly & I had a belated birthday lunch with Nana Jana. Sam and Holly cut down one of the trees in her front yard: 


It looks pretty good for a free tree!


It was good they took care of the tree on Friday, because we got some inches of snow on Saturday - it was cold! Not a ton, but probably the best snow we've had in 2 years. 


Sam took Leah & James over to the park for sledding. Here's all the snow gear drying off: 


Jim bought a new game - You’re a Little Crabby! - and we played it several times.

Here's the link to last year!
