Thanksgiving Prep

 Lukas and Noah came home for the Thanksgiving break. They immediately set out to cook and bake. We had to cuddle and coddle the turkey to raise its temperature, the fridge thaw was too slow, but finally, it was ready for its injection. Noah carefully arranged the pecans in a circular fashion on the pecan pie; Lukas whipped up fluffy rolls. I caught Lukas using a ruler to measure the size of his rolled out dough; the Barb gene is shining through :-)

While the food was cooking in the oven, on the stove, or in the fryer, we caught glimpses of the parade and the dog show. Then, before dinner, we had a leisurely afternoon with a long walk, a good book, and a fire. A great beginning of the four-day weekend.
