Thanksgiving 2022

 What a different Thanksgiving this year!  The entire family always makes it a point to get together on this holiday but it just wasn't going to happen this year!  Gary had to work Thanksgiving Day so they had made the decision to not come, since they would only be down for a few hours!  And in the meantime, we had found out that Cindy and Rene' from TX were going to be in town at Cheryl's place who lives in Firestone, CO, not far from Denver!  And after some planning, we had all decided to get together up in North Denver for a meal and get together!  So after hearing this, Jill's had decided not to come down either since we would all see each other up in Denver on Saturday!

Jaime and I decided we didn't want all the work of a traditional Thanksgiving meal so we opted for steak and shrimp!  SO much easier than a turkey with all of the trimmings!  Glenn and I headed over mid morning and once we got organied, we settled in for a game of 5 Crowns - Rayna and Matias had never played the game and we all laughed and laughed as we tried to teach them, assuring them it was an EASY game but they had a tough time getting the concept - ha!

Dinner was excellent!  Shrimp, steak, wild rice, green beans and pumpkin bread!

As you can see, Jaime had her house decorated for Christmas - it's stunning!  Gnomes everywhere you look!

They haven't decorated the big tree yet but it's on the list!

We continued our card game after lunch - Jaime won with super low points.  Matias and I took the honor of the highest points!!

We enjoyed pumpkin and apple pie while we finished our card game and then it was the mandatory pictures!

We sure enjoyed our time at Jaime's but certainly missed Jills and Jessi's families!  Pictures of them coming up!
