Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving is about sharing good food with nice people.  Kaci, Keith and the triplets over the road from us presented us with this cheese ball decked out as a turkey.  A great conversation piece which also tasted delicious.

Turkey is central to this feast and here Steve has taken charge of the Turkey fryer.  Ross is supervising.

 

Here is the result.

Dennis was a most gracious host and is ably assisted by Erica one of the 8 female soldiers who celebrated the day with the extended Reilly family.  For many years Dennis and the family have warmly welcomed soldiers into their home on this day.

As you can they were afforded a lot of encouragement.

 Then it was time to eat.  The fare was amazing and everyone at the lunch had contributed in some way.

Second course wasn't too bad either.

This was the first Thanksgiving that Joy and Adam had ever been to so they took the opportunity to chat to these 2 young soldiers from Wisconsin.

At the end of a great day it was time for the happy snap.  The smiles on the faces of all says it all - a great day, great food and wonderful people.

Our thoughts go with these young soldiers and we pray they will remain safe as they do the bidding of their country.

Thinking of you all,

Bev and Ross
