Thanksgiving 11/23/23

Thursday was another wonderful family gathering at Nicole and Jordan's home. They had outside tables, corn hole games, a fire pit going (it did reach 62 degrees), their trampoline was a hit too.

Food was plentiful with Cara's turkey fruit tray, cheese and crackers, plus drinks and visiting with all. Main meal was roasted turkey, smoked turkey, hash brown casserole, green beans, our corn casserole, Leaa's macaroni and cheese, sweet potato casserole, gravy, ambrosia salad, mashed potatoes, etc. We watched NFL football games (Lions lost), chatted with Carl, Marsha, Justin, etc. 
We still are not very familiar with Jordan's brothers, we know Parker who is unmarried (is dating a nice lady but she did not come), Brandon with wife and two kids (Violet) and Trevor with wife and brought a senior high schooler, Cortez Juarbe (PVB). I spoke with Jordan's mom, Nancy W. (age 68); lots going on in her life with her seven siblings, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. She works in her yard and recently had two leg wounds (edger hit roof nail into her ankle and a fall in far back of yard). She's a conversationalist!
Leaa took advantage of the backyard woods for some family photos.

Celebrated Mila's birthday (with Ford blowing out a candle too).
Mila seemed to like the lip gloss gift pack and money for her birthday from us.

Glad we had nice weather, a bit chilly but nice. Good family event by Nicole - she organizes and keeps everyone moving! Love our bonus daughter!
