Thanksgiving tasks


I did not get any pictures of serious turkey cooking. Why?? Well, I was busy turkey cooking. But I did snap a few on breaks and everyone doing what they were doing was much more exciting than what I was doing. Unfortunately, I did not get pictures of Nick showing Jason how he smoked a turkey. Nick has been doing it for a few years now and this year's smoked turkey was exceptional!

Here we see David checking email and the news -- an old Thanksgiving tradition.

We all took turns washing up. The best way to get a bit of quiet time alone was to head for the sink and start washing.






















Then there was the cooking and everyone had a project. Cheshire and Sarah Grace usually make the pumpkin pies, and this year Cheshire and Michael made scones for Thanksgiving breakfast. Who knows what Julia's task will be. Ditto for Jason, but he did his bit building that lego dinosaur!













And then there are the traditional Thanksgiving video games which Michael had no problem playing. Julia just hung around to see what he was doing and engage his attention whenever the game got a bit slow.
