Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the first Thanksgiving I've hosted the fam. We've been doing our own Thanksgiving, both by ourselves and with friends, since Lauren was about 5, because we visited both sides of the family at Christmas. Jeff's mom, dad and brother are arriving this morning and staying through Saturday. We haven't seen them since the family reunion this summer. It'll be fun!

I planned a family beer tasting for tomorrow night. Jeff and I selected beers based solely on the names and the appeal of the bottles. A fine standard, if you ask me. I did a beer tasting party several years ago, and many of us were surprised that we liked the darker beers far better than the lighter. It's funny how different beer tastes when you are concentrating on the flavors. My favorite then was some sort of stout. Nobody liked the cherry beer, which I thought would be really good. It reminded us of cough syrup. No fruity beers this time.

We may all go see Lincoln at some point. We also play a lot of games when we get together. Not emotional games... actual board and card games. Heh.

Hope everyone travels safely and has a wonderful day today! Happy TG!
