Belated Thanksgiving Birthday

Getting ready to host a "make-up" Thanksgiving Dinner, as well as a grand-daughter's birthday celebration.

 The table is set for 13, our largest number to date.   If and when it increases, we'll have to move out of the dining room space into another space to add a table for more people.

Grand-daughter E turns six years old.  First we ate dinner;  then we opened presents (some for E and some for the other little ones too).  After that, we had a treasure hunt where everyone had to work together to interpret the clues and find the next clue, until they found the hidden treasure.  It was great fun.  They of course want another one next time.  ( Truthfully, it did take forever to create!!). Example:   To find the next clue, you have to be extra sharp!

After the gifts and the treasure hunt, there was dessert----several kinds, from birthday cake and ice cream, to cheese cake, to pumpkin pie.   I think we probably won't eat, or at least I won't have to cook for several days!

Here are some photos of making family  memories.




Next clue found:  inside the drawer of the pencil sharpener!
