For Thanksgiving this year, it was the Pikus "on year". However, Rob and Gege's family ended up in New York to watch the Thanksgiving Day parade and Noelle and Janson were invited to Mexico with other family members. With Mom and Dad leaving for a cruise in a couple of days, Shauna volunteered her home for Thanksgiving. Taylor, the kids and I all went up Wednesday evening where we visited, made dinner, played games and started preparing music for our neighbor gifts. It was very relaxing to be able to spend a few days up there. On Thanksgiving, the girls cooked most of the day. I think we were talking a little too much because Shauna had a hard time concentrating on the ingredients and the order which to prepare the stuffing. We had a great time. And of course, after cooking all day, dinner was over in a matter of 30 minutes. Many of us sat around and visited a little longer and then the clean up began which was fairly quick. Then we played games, did a little black Friday shopping and visited some more. It was a great Thanksgiving. Thank you Smoot Family for the invite!!
