Thanksgiving Card

This card, made by my brother Pete's kids, came in the mail yesterday.

Thanksgiving Day 2013 - Just Sittin' Around

It's always fun to page through magazines while the turkey is baking. I never get time to just sit around and do stuff like this.

Thanksgiving Day 2013 - Elf

After dinner Mom, Dale, and I watched Elf. It was quite delightful. Ed Asner is, in my opinion, the best movie Santa ever. 

Thanksgiving Day Walk

Thanksgiving Day was cold and somewhat windy but Athena and I braved it all for a nice long walk. I tried to get her to look at the camera but she was more interested in giving me a kiss.

Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade 2013

While my pie was baking yesterday I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie 2013 - The Finished Product

My Pumpkin Pie

Thanksgiving Day 2013 - Joe

Dale snapped this photo as I'm making pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving morning. I've got the hat on not because I'm cold but because I'm having a bad hair morning.

P.S. The pie was FABULOUS.

Thanksgiving 2013 - Athena

Athena's just the sweetest thing. Here she rests her head on Dale's foot as he talks to his mom and dad the day before Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving 2013 - Dale

Dale hasn't been feeling well lately. He has shingles and it's not fun. This photo was taken the day before yesterday (which was the day before Thanksgiving) at Kowalski's grocery store as we attempted to stock up on everything that would be needed for our Thanksgiving feast. We succeeded. We didn't miss one single item!
