Thanksgiving with Parks and Rhees

by

This year, we hosted both sides of the family at our house. It’s always nice to have all the grandparents, parents, siblings and cousins together. The original plan was to eat out, but my preference is to eat at home. I guess that’s easy for me to say because I’m not in charge of cooking, but Grace obliged. I volunteered to “cook” the turkey, which mostly entailed making a fire and obsessing over my new remote thermometer, which was beeping most of the day, indicating the temperature was out of band. Despite cooking in half the expected time, everything turned out great. We didn’t have any money on whether or not Grace’s dad would rake the yard, but just when. Big thanks to Grace, the moms and Jen for a solid lunch, beautiful appetizers and a full Thanksgiving spread. I hope no one regretted not going out to eat. I know I did not.

As always, we all have much for which to be thankful. Mostly we can be thankful to be able to spend time with our loved ones, young and old. Happy Thanksgiving!
