Thanksgiving Fun!

We changed our routine of home cookin' to go out with our friends. We went to Strack Farms and the food was wonderful. We had breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert. We went with the Peiffers (Todd, Julie, Mitchell, and Baby Ali - Jennifer, Jason, Reese and Becca -- Jennifer and Julie's Mom and Dad ), the Osbornes (Kirk, Karen, Karen's Mom, Mary Klaire, and Kirsten) and the Kems (Bonnie, Kyle, and Kaitlyn). Lots of us!!! We had a great time. Jon went right after lunch to pick up his parents from the airport and we ate Jon's homemade dinner that night with Joan and Jack and the Kem's came over to eat (again) with us! Jon fried his first turkey and it was great. He was proud of himself. Overall a lazy day.
