This was the first Thanksgiving I'd ever spent outside of California. And I believe the first where I didn't see any members of the Scott family. :( Luckily, Sara flew up from San Francisco for the weekend, and Ed and Ruth drove down from Seattle, so we had a total of 7 people.
Getting ready to sit down. David, mom, Ruth, Sara.
Dad looking strangely cheerful. Maybe it's because it was such a small group.
Mom serving the soup.
Mmmm, squash soup with parsley.
More goodies: green beans and mashed potatoes.
I got some of everything, including the cranberry sauce and cranberry jelly.
Homemade pies: apple and pumpkin. It's taken years, but I finally enjoy pie enough to have a couple small slices at Thanksgiving. I mean, they're homemade, come on.
The obligatory Mona photo.
There were no kids at our dinner this year, so everyone just sat around and chatted. (Until I eventually got bored and wandered off to play with Mona.) I included the only 2 photos of me (on this camera) from that night. It's fun to compare the expressions of the 3 Alongi ladies:
David, Ed, and Ruth:
It was a very nice evening. I posted a video on Facebook, so check it out if you want some more action. :)
