Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving this year was a bit different in that we spent the afternoon with all the family at a Greek restaurant named the Odyssey. I thought most would be eating from the special Thanksgiving menu, however, the majority ordered Greek food. We must have eaten 4-5 orders of Saganaki (Oooopahh!) At first, the little boys were fearful of the giant flame that shot upward from the flaming saganaki, but then, they wanted to see more and were entertained by it.

The evening ended at our home with a fun family game of cards (poker). It was fun to see Neil, Anthony and Jenna playing side by side. Mike, Marlene, Steven and Michael join us after their Thanksgiving meal, and then Leah came later and joined Gabriel, Vincent and GianLuca in the fun. The boys asked for their favorite thing to do when they come to the house. First, they go upstairs with Grampa and play airplane spin on the bed and then they asked me to take out the vacuum cleaner to play with it (Go figure?!?) I wonder if that fascination will continue as they age...somehow I don't think so!

Later we made turkey sandwiches for everyone and had apple, pumpkin and french silk pie along with a tray of fruit and coffee. We had a wonderful time with all of the family!
