A Thanksgiving Post in mid-December:

Thanksgiving day began with a race which Ken and Jeff Meads put on as a fund raiser for the Boy Scouts.

This time everyone in our family EXCEPT Ken and Jeff ran (or walked).


Afterwards, we went back to cook during Cousin R&R, and eat a feast of a Thanksgiving dinner. That night newspaper ads came forth, and the next day, sisters-in-laws and nieces alike went shopping. It was a fun trip, but it had a drawback. We did not come home with leftovers and Ken wanted that leftover turkey to eat with leftover mashed potatoes and leftover . . . So we baked and cooked up another storm here in Utah:
All in all, I baked a few pies: strawberry peach (in Pahrump), pumpkin, key lime, and chocolate cream-- all from scratch!

"God Bless Us, Every One!"

Ben is currently in a fourth grade production of "The Christmas Carol."

He plays Charles Dickens who introduces the play and acts as a narrator before each scene. It is the part he wanted from the start, and landed by popular vote from what I've heard. Top billing as you can see, and he is doing great in the role!
