I am a little late posting Thanksgiving Day pics, but thought they were worthy of a share. This year, like years past, Nathan and I ventured to the Caruana Ranch in Petaluma, CA for the annual Thanksgiving Day festivities. Diane and Michael hosted a full house (and barn) with 13 for Thanksgiving Dinner, most of who stayed for the weekend. One of many great things about Thanksgiving at the Caruana's is we all contribute to the dinner by making a signature dish. We all cook together in the kitchen to the music of Kim & Ron's iPod. With so many chefs in the kitchen the collaborative effort is always an adventure. Thanks to Diane and Michael for another fabulous gathering! Love you!
The Hits:
- Bocci ball in the horse ring
- A gorgeous full moon
- Delicious spread - the best yet in my opinion :)
- Trail run in Helen Putnam State Park
- After dinner dance party
- After dinner dance party turned aerobics class lead by yours truly (talents I never knew I had)
- The perfect amount of leftovers (this includes gravy - no trips to KFC this year!)
- The solitude of Diane and Michael's home
- Perfect nights' sleep without horn honking and bus farts
- Laughter echoing through the house
- Christmas shopping at Heeby Geeby in town
- Spending time with the crew: Kim, Ron, Kelsey, Carly, Randall, Tess, Bryan, Matthew, Diane, Michael, Alan, Jen and, of course, Nate-dogg
