The Kassel Family Project Life 365

It was a day of Thanksgiving traditions. In the morning, we ate Eggs Benedict Casserole for breakfast and chatted while we drank coffee. In the early afternoon, we ate snacks, watched football, and took family pictures.

The kids took a silly picture (or several).

We took the group picture.

Then, we ate after Jim carved the turkey.

It was a fantastic turkey dinner with all the fixings.

We spent the rest of the evening just laying around. It is Thanksgiving after all. Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!

I took only one picture today.

I took the picture to text to Kristena to show her that the guest bedroom was ready for them. Somehow, I managed to miss all the fun of our first night of Blume Family Thanksgiving. Oh well…

Our Girl is home! I am so glad to have Laura home for Thanksgiving. The Kassel Castle is clean and shiny, and all the crazy cooking and baking begins tonight with lots of food prep. The countdown to Blume Family Thanksgiving is ON!

We had dinner out with the Fues Family at Broadway Brewery.

We enjoyed dinner while we listened to the Columbia Jazz Orchestra play. As always, they were fabulous! The guest clarinet player was a particular surprise, and I very much enjoyed listening to him. Clarinets can play jazz with the best of them!

It was a great evening spent with great friends, and it was the perfect start to Thanksgiving week.

It is not a good picture, but I took it because this is the first time that John has driven me somewhere. He drives with Andy a fair amount, but he had not yet driven with me. He did a great job!

I am not feeling well, so I asked Andy to make Turkey Noodle Soup for dinner. He was happy to oblige.
