Thanksgiving Dinner

We cooked Turkey early in the morning, and had dinner ready by 1pm. Mom and Dad surprised us and arrived around 11, They drove late in the night and slept in their camper at a rest stop. They told us on the phone they were going to be there around 1, so we were all surprised to see them sooner.

It was chilly, but Brad's pool is heated and nice. The kids spent most of their time swimming.

Dad carving the Turkey. Sara put a rub on it over night and it was sooooo good.

Chris making a very peppery gravy....among yams, squash, sweet potatoes, cheesy red potatoes, rolls, etc.....so many carbs.

Sara's kitchen was just right to hold the Merrill Clan. We love their new home.
