Thanksgiving

This year we had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with Jeff's brother and his family.  Despite the fact that we have both lived in Southern California for the past 15 years, we have never had Thanksgiving dinner together.  It seems that one or both of us are always engaged somewhere else every year.  So we were pleased to find that our schedules aligned and we got together for the day.  We had all the traditional foods, turkey, rolls, mashed potatoes and stuffing.  Then it was off to the park for an interim volleyball game.  It was a very interesting game.  My neices and nephews attention spans ranged all over the place.  There were a few times where I was leaping over a somersaulting child, or running around a twirling ballerina to get to the ball.  It was just an extra challenge and made the game very fun and memorable.  My favorite part was Gabe's jump underhand serves.  After the game, we ate pie, then chatted for a good portion of the evening.  It was a nice thanksgiving.
