After dinner we played a little darts in the basement. Joel and I are trying to make a "game hallway" down stairs.

Grandma Jean brought a bonnet for me to wear and I already had the apron.

we actually all fit around a table in the living room. I didn't think it was going to happen but I was pleasantly surprised. I think everyone was relatively comfortable even though we were tightly seated.

Joel did a good job carving the turkey with a little coaching! Thanks Uncle Jim.

Joel and Jim also helped in the kitchen. Jim made some yummy brussel sprouts. I never knew that I could like BRUSSEL SPROUTS.

My first thanksgiving and the turkey looked pretty good!
