Thanksgiving 2009!

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving celebration yesterday. We celebrated with tons of food and great company! (Not necessarily in that order.)
o
It really was all fun and no stress. Maybe we're finally getting the hang of this Thanksgiving dinner thing.

A few pics of the tables...

o
Empty plates! Time for seconds. Or thirds.

o
Time for the annual Thanksgiving Quiz!! It's quite stressful - Grandpa and Grandma are surely re-thinking next year's travel plans.

o
Susie looks pretty confident, though.

o
Carol, the brainy one!

o
But the winner is: Michael! He won the zebra-print Snuggie.

o
He also scored the highest on the annual Star Wars quiz! Here he is relaxing with his prizes.

o

o
Jessica's delicious carrot cake!!

o
Maren is first in line for pumpkin pie.

o
Enjoying their well-deserved dessert after all the stressful test-taking.

o
Molly and Susie!

o
Jessica and her Horn-of-Plenty artwork.

o
What better way to digest a ton of food than a rousing sing-along!

o
She claims to be an alto, but Susie can hit a clear, beautiful high G.

o
Jessica reads Maren a bedtime story...

o
Maren set up a bed for herself on the couch and was out for the rest of the evening.

o
Deacon wasn't happy about taking time out of playing to take a picture, but William was cooperative and congenial as usual!

o
David looks really comfortable behind those drums.

o
And now, presenting the Ross Family Thanksgiving Photo Gallery!

...who found his way into the picture again in 2009.

Again, we hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday! Happy Thanksgiving!

That was a fantastic Thanksgiving. Thanks so much for always letting the Ribniks be a part of the Alff celebrations!

The dinner looks delicious! And I see you had your famous chocolate dipped strawberries in marshmellows. Looks like everyone had a good time!

Is that Mike's official Thanksgiving shirt?

Terri said...

Yes. Except this year he accessorized with his deadly albino ladybug tie.
