Thanksgiving-Alaska Style





We started off Thanksgiving with some good exercise.  I went to my swimming, which got moved to the morning, while Neil took banjo around the dog park.  Then afterwards we came home and prepared a few of the things we were going to bring to kari and jared's (yams, beets, and a few appetizers).  While Neil watched the Seahawks lose horribly (apparently it was a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch them on Thanksgiving day) I went on a really long ski with Rachel on the coastal trail.

We headed over to the Parrish's around 3.  Kari prepared a great thanksgiving feast and we had a really fun time.  She even made a table cloth for the event.  Rachel brought some yummy lemon/cranberry scones, and Matt brought himself.  Afterwards we played poverty (otherwise known as 31 by everyone else), which was Neil's family's thanksgiving tradition.  Then we watched charlie brown's thanksgiving, followed by blades of glory (i'm not really sure why).  All in all it was a great day!
