Thanksgiving

Last year, we spent the first part of Thanksgiving feeding dinner to the homeless at the Greek Orthodox Church in downtown Salt Lake City. Apparently there have been some problems in prior years with little kids being somewhat unsupervised by their parents as they served dinner. So they now have a minimum age in order to serve dinner there. Ryan isn’t old enough yet, so this year we delivered meals to people who were shut-ins. We went to one high-rise apartment building with about 20 meals, and delivered them to people.

When we finished, we drove to Orem for Thanksgiving dinner with Frances’ family. There were about 25-30 of us there, with our immediate family, her immediate family, plus aunts, uncles, and cousins. Here is a picture (from Frances) of our table.
Mom made her famous fruit turkey, and Frances made super cute turkey cake pops.

When we finished eating, we all went to see “The Muppet Movie.” We all enjoyed it – even Alice & Claire! We especially loved the cameos by some of our favorite actors and musicians, such as Jim Parsons and Dave Groll.
After the movie, we went back to the Andersons for pie. There were about 8 different varieties…so hard to choose! We had a really fun, full day with all of our activities!
