11-24-17  Thanksgiving day after:

Thanksgiving was actually yesterday, but with relatives on the road trying to get here, we planned to celebrate today instead.  Ken and I did go and spend the day at Angie and Josh's on the 23rd, but it was a different kind of Thanksgiving.  We had BLTs for lunch and white chili for dinner.
When we got back to the apartment, I prepped the Thanksgiving turkey and threw it in the oven before heading to bed. 
This morning, I waited for the turkey to finish cooking, then prepped the dressing, made gravy, and carved the turkey.  About 12:30, we left for the kids' house.
Angie was still preparing some of the foods.  She also had the table set already.  While the guys watched some football, the gals continued to get everything made.
 Takes a bit of doing to try and get everything warmed up at the same time---thus the reason for me making turkey, gravy and dressing.  Around 1:30 we were ready to dig in. 
 Definately some good eating here!
 Ben and his new little brother, Winston.
After stuffing ourselves silly and watching more football, it was time to play some games.  Started out with our new obsession---Mexican Train Dominoes.
Moved on to Apples to Apples a little later.
About 11 hours later, we bid them farewell and headed home.
It was another fantastic visit --- which I'm truly Thankful for!
