On Wednesday afternoon the 21st Jon and Corina arrived. They drove down from SPU to spend Thanksgiving with us. Adam and Pam arrived Thursday morning and the cookfest began!
Jon, Cody and Corina made this awesome fruit salad.
Adam and Pam worked on a pumpkin cheesecake.
While everything was cooking there was time for other fun stuff.
As for me, I spent a lot of time planning and supervising to make sure everything was running efficiently.
Corina and Pam worked on the pumpkin pie.
Finally I was pressed into service and had to do some actual physical labor, but I wasn't happy about it.
We are so very blessed.
On Black Friday the kids and I were up early (Lorelei says to heck with that early stuff). It's kind of our tradition, we really didn't have anything in particular that we needed or wanted to buy, we usually go wander around a bit and then go out for breakfast. I did wind up with another portable hard drive to back up the home movies, Corina got some socks. Our best score came from the garage sale store (yes that's the name of it), where Corina got some nick knacks and I got a hole punch and a bungee cord!
We got home and had a snack and then, Adam, Jon and I headed down to the gym at our local church and met up with some guys for a game of pick-up basketball. Not sure how many more years I can do that. Either the boys are getting faster or I'm getting slower?
Then we came home and showered and off to Salem for dinner! It was Jon's 21st birthday yesterday and Lorelei asked him what he wanted her to cook for his special day. He says "oh Mom, I don't want you to have to cook, why don't you just take us to Red Lobster".
That's it for now!
