Thanksgiving day was delicious and fun!

Cold and sunny in the morning. We took a little walk. Amelia made pumpkin pie to take to Kevin's house. She made the crust for my pie too--fudge pecan...yum. We watched some of the parade, but it was really annoying to me for some reason this year. Maybe the commentators were worse than usual. Fewer Broadway shows this year.

Amelia went to Kevin's. My Dad arrived and we had pastitisio for lunch. The three of us played a great game of Scrabble, after a little crying because my Mom wasn't here to play cards with us. My Dad played all his letters and got a 50-point bonus.

Amelia came back from Kevin's. Captain went home to get dressed. Ray showered and dressed. I made the chocolate pecan pie and the mini-corn muffins. I took the sweet potatoes out and put butter and brown sugar and orange juice on them. I took the rolls out of the freezer and baked them. I changed my clothes and we put all the food in the car and drove to Janna's.

It was really fun and delicious. But I think I'd rather make my own Thanksgiving dinner so I can have exactly what I want to eat. Maybe I'll go to their house for dessert and games. We ate about 7:30 and had dessert after 9. There were two turkeys; one was totally for leftovers and she divided it among us. My Dad left before dessert. Later, we played Fictionary, where we make up definitions to real words. It was fun and I laughed a lot, as did Janna. Ron was asleep with his head on the table for about an hour. I think it was midnight before I went to sleep!
