Thanksgiving

Unlike last years rainy Thanksgiving, we woke up to a gorgeous blue sky! And also unlike last year (and most years) we didn't host dinner at our house. My mom flew to Utah with her sister to spend the holiday with my cousin, my brother went to have dinner with his wife's family, and we spent the afternoon with my dad.










We spent the morning down at the beach walking around the tide pools. I had flash backs of being a kid with my dad. He always took my brother and I down to the tide pools.





































































Will and I came home and made a few side dishes, and a turkey, to take with us. The evening was peaceful.




























The girls had fun telling jokes and playing "horsey" with grandpa...even got to feed him carrots!

Isn't that funny! I don't know what it was? Maybe she got the sense that something/someone was missing :)
