Holiday Season 2018 - Thanksgiving Day: Abby's Tiki Bar Part 1

Thursday, November 22, 2018

Abby felt so badly that we couldn't get in a visit to Archipelago yesterday that she surprised me by creating a tiki bar just for me! Xander, Emma, and Abby's friend Kayliegh helped her set it up. She designed mostly non-alcoholic cocktails although Stephanie helped her concoct a signature tiki drink just for me that contained gold rum, light rum, lemon juice, lime juice, Horny Gator mix, and Sprite. She served it up in the shark tiki mug I bought her last year at Archipelago. I was so touched by the thoughtfulness of it all that I got a little teary. Thanks, Abby!

Pete did an awesome job as always preparing the big meal. 

It was delicious.

Holiday Season 2018 - Thanksgiving Day: Dinner's In the Oven

Thursday, November 22, 2018

After the parade it was nice to relax while dinner was in the oven.

Toast the chef.

Emma did just fine amusing herself. 

A tradition in Stephanie's family is to play Mah Jong on Thanksgiving. I played it once at a big Thanksgiving celebration with her extended family about 10 years ago. Very fun but very complicated. I did much better with it this time around. Emma was my team mate and we did pretty well.
