We had three separate family gatherings over Thanksgiving weekend this year, and the one on Thanksgiving (at our house) was the most low-key. Since we knew we would be having turkey with all the trimmings at Gock and Grandpaw G.'s house on Sunday, we decided on a simple menu of crepes with raspberry sauce for Thanksgiving Day lunch at our house. Gock, Grandpaw G., and Auntie Sarah entertained Leif and Bjorn while I made a pile of crepes, and Gock brought her always popular fruit pizza for dessert. And since it was Thanksgiving, we also enjoyed a bonus dessert of pecan pie (courtesy of Sarah and the fine people of Bakers Square) a little while later, after cleaning up the first round of dishes and roughhousing with Leif had enabled us all to build up an appetite again. I'm thankful for all of our extended family members who make my kiddos so happy whenever we see them!
Leif and Gock planning their Black Friday shopping strategy
Leif ate every last bite of his large pile of whipped cream (he insisted on pushing the spout on the whipped cream can by himself), then passed the untouched piece of pecan pie to his dad to finish. Aaron did not protest.
Bjorn ate an entire pint of raspberries (dipped in whipped cream) in lieu of pie.
