Thanksgiving Day
November 23, 2017
 | Elyse and Jordan are in the kitchen with Grandma Brenda early on Thanksgiving morning starting the food preparation. |
Uncle Mark joined us about 10:30am and Elyse and Ashleigh join him at the table. Jeff got up to run and is settling down to his breakfast. |  |
 | Mark and Jeff consult today's communication standard, a cellphone. |

 | Marty dropped by to deliver the turkey he had cooked during the night. |
Marty had seasoned the turkey with a latticework of bacon. Jordan takes on the nicely cooked bacon framework. |  |
 | Jordan was willing to share her bacon bonanza with Uncle Mark. |
Mark greets Sherry as she arrives. She joins the meal preparation. |  |

The final stages of cooking the turkey are complete, and now Jeff and Mark take on the carving of the bird. |  |
 | We are in the final stages of setting the Thanksgiving meal. Ashleigh and Mark bring fresh rolls to the table. |
Elyse, Jordan and Ashleigh look admiringly and hungrily? at the Tnanksgiving table. |  |

 Rod got pried out from behind the camera for these shots with Jeff and Mark. |  |
 | We were glad to see Andy and Alice when they dropped by and took the opportunity for a photo with Brenda, Mark and Jeff. |
| Marty wore his holiday suit into work, so we thought we might as well get a picture of Jeff with him in similar garb. |  |
Most groups do their crazy picture after they do straight ones, but we actually did this one before the well-behaved ones.
 | We wanted to get a picture of the girls with Uncle Mark. We are always glad when he can get loose to join us. |
| Later the girls got into a lively game of Scrabble with Aunt Sherry, which seemed to be enjoyed by all. |  |
