Thanksgiving 2014
This marked the first time that the Liptzins, the Hokes, and Grandma and Grandpa were all in residence, simultaneously and for several days.
It was pretty much all about food: Thursday dinner (turkey) for 10 at Jen's, Friday lunch (chili) for 22 at our cabin, Friday dinner (turkey) at Emmy's, Saturday dinner (beef) at Jen's. Meals were punctuated with much play time inside (games, crafts, reading, conversing) and outside (sledding, snowmen, XC skiing, walking).
