In the past Chris has started his day by going to the Mesa Turkey Trot but this year he played football with several families from church. Since it had been raining we weren't sure if they would still play or not but they weren't going to let a little mud stop them. It stopped me from going though. I had no desire to go and watch plus I still had to finish the rolls and pies.
At noon we all met at Uncle Ronald's for our traditional Thanksgiving Day feast. Everyone has an assignment and this year I had a new one; stuffing and wheat rolls. The last time I was assigned rolls I really messed them up and they were the frozen kind you just thaw and bake. This time I tried a recipe from my favorite Amish cookbook and they came out pretty good.
Since it had quit raining the kids played outside all afternoon climbing trees and playing ball while the big kids (Roger, Richard, my dad, etc.) stayed out in the shop watching football.
Of course you can't have turkey without taking a nap which Kyle & Uncle Ronald proved. Kyle came in from playing outside, sat down in the chair and immediately fell asleep and stayed asleep for a couple of hours!
It was a good day for all!!
