Marie, Brian and Xander hosted Thanksgiving dinner for Dan and Julie, Christine and Jamie and Andy and Shannon. Marie created a fabulous feast and everyone enjoyed talking and playing games together. It was the first opportunity for Marie, Brian and Xander to meet Jamie. And it was Andy's first chance in several years to travel to a Thanksgiving gathering, after four years of working in retail.
The next day, Dan, Julie, Christine, Jamie, Andy and Shannon enjoyed the annual "Black Friday" gathering at Doug and Lisa's home in Maryland, along with Cathy, Christopher, Stephanie, Liz, Hugh and Dolores. Lisa prepared the traditional meal of Corner Stable ribs, homemade crabcakes and delicious side dishes. It was another chance for Hugh and Dolores to enjoy the company of all their children and several grandchildren. (By the time this photo was taken, Lisa and Stephanie had retired for the evening.)
Elsewhere this Thanksgiving in our extended-family universe, Courtney visited her mom, Nanette, on Shelter Island.
Meanwhile, Austin and his daughter, Rachel, enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner (and a classic movie) together in Florida.
