Mom and Dad's visit and Thanksgiving

Mom and Dad came for a short visit last weekend (they would have come for Thanksgiving, but flights then cost about twice as much). Sadly, I hardly took any pictures. I took my camera with me every time we went out, but it was extremely cold last weekend, so any time we got out of the car, I was thinking more about getting back into the warm car than about taking pictures. Luckily Mom took a few and send them along to me.


Jessica and I had Thanksgiving dinner on our own this year. We strayed from tradition and replaced the turkey in our Thanksgiving meal with lobster. I'm not sure that's actually straying from tradition that much... I'm pretty sure that there would have been lobster eaten at the first Thanksgiving on Plymouth Bay. Other than the lobster, the meal was pretty traditional... I made stuffing and mashed potatoes. Jessica made pumpkin pie, green beans, and cranberry sauce.



Simon and Susie thought that the box that the stuffing croutons came in made a great little place to play. Susie (in the box) ended up going over the edge of the table a few minutes after this picture was taken (she made it through that ordeal unscathed... these guys do this sort of thing many times each day).
