Thanksgiving was a busy busy day at the Peart house. The night before, Thanksgiving Eve if you will, Derek stayed up until 3 a.m. roasting turkey for the Key Club meal project. Claire struggled to get out of bed at 6 a.m. and loaded up those turkeys and headed to RHS. 13 more turkeys showed up along with tons, I mean tons, of food to dish up and deliver to those in need around Riverton. Lots of volunteers showed up and helped make the entire event a huge success. It was wonderful to see so many people help others in need.
Then it was off to have 2 dinners....
Addison's first Thanksgiving turned out much better than Derek and Claire anticipated.
First we went to the Peart's. Derek's sister Nikki and her family were there from Ft. Collins, his brother Rick from Denver along with his parents. It was a very nice meal and she sat at the table like a little lady. After dinner a few games of ladder golf (AKA toss the testes) and ladder bag were played, and Derek was one game shy of undefeated!
Next, we headed to the Manning house to have dinner #2. The food was great as was the company. Claire's parents, sister Catherine and her boyfriend Cody, co-workers Wayne, Katie and Martin rounded out the crowd. The annual puzzle was put together and after dinner some Wii was played. We called California to brush up on our Pass the Buck rules and played a few rounds. 4 to the right, 5 to the left and 6 to the middle! Derek won round 1, Carl rounds 2 & 3.
Here are some pics of our little Turkey on her first Thanksgiving.
P.S. She did enjoy some sweet potatoes and rice cereal for her dinner!
