We cooked Thanksgiving dinner at home, a mix of prepared foods (stuffing, gravy, rolls, pie) and homemade dishes. It was a whole family affair, which was new and wonderful. Liesl was a fantastic sous chef, setting the table, making the cranberry sauce and the mashed potatoes, and prepping other veggies. Seb was on cleanup duty, washing the pots and pans. Steve fought with the partly frozen turkey (an 18-lb monstrosity from Champoeg Farms; he won, but maybe next year we'll go for a spatchcocked bird.
Jasper celebrated Thanksgiving too.
After dinner, we played Ticket to Ride. We've had this game for years but have never played it for real, with all of the game rules introducing strategic maneuvering. It was much more fun and challenging to have specific goals/destinations and to try and block each other. Seb won!
