Thanksgiving 2009

Last year when Bob & Carol were here Stef bought a turkey and ham to cook at our new house. Well, that never happened because the house that was supposed to be done was never completed until mid January. Stef got our friend Ursula to keep both in her freezer until we were ready for it. Guess what? That turkey and ham stayed frozen until Thanksgiving 2009.

We convinced Bob & Carol to return the same time this year, and they did. The turkey and ham were prepared with them in mind (the same turkey and ham from last year).

Usually, Stef will discuss most matters with me, but for some reason - when it comes to having a party, she doesn't even tell me until after she has invited all the guests. As you can see, we had a fairly large number of people who shared this day with us. I think that the number was around 30. That's our dear friend Bob at the far left of the picture.

Here is closer to the start of the event. We rented 6 tables and a bunch of chairs to make sure everyone had a seat. The meal was to consist of 2 turkeys, of which our friend Lorna cooked the other - 1 butterball ham and a pork loin.  - You can bet that no one went hungry. That's our dear friend Carol in the floral blouse.

No party could be successful without the help of our two girls - Ana Cecila (left) and Liz (right). Both helped Stef with everything from start to finish. I really don't know what we would do without them. Notice the matching outfits they got for the occassion. They were quite proud of them.

Beside the turkeys, ham and pork, everyone brought a plate - Mmmmmmmmmmmm - it was really great food, and everyone had a great time. Guess we are going to have to do it again next year!
