Thanksgiving 2024

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Maren's house in Woodinville.  It was a full and fun day.  I got in on the Rummikub action, but did not win A SINGLE GAME.  Sarah was on fire, winning 1/2 the games.  Veronica Fehlberg took the other 3.  We had a great time eating and hanging out. 

I made a veggie tray to snack on while I was cooking.  Haha.  Not exactly like the example.  But it was yummy. 


My pies were really pretty.  And they all timed out perfectly in the baking.  But somehow the coconut cream reliquified.  Weird.  The flavor was delicious, but the texture was all wrong.  The chocolate mousse was the biggest hit.  I promised to send someone from Woodinville the recipe. But I haven't done it yet.  (One of the many dropped balls lately.) 


Libby played all the games with us this year too.  That was super fun. :)


 It was a hard day for Geneva without Brion.  But she made it through.  It's been interesting watching her go through this grief, knowing that it is a part of life and the plan.  I'm glad she decided to do Christmas in Arizona with the Great Grands to mix it up.  

I have a lot to be thankful for this year. I'm thankful to be living this full and rich life (even when at times it seems overwhelming): seminary, wrestling, teaching, parenting, serving in nursery, all the things.
