Pre Turkey Day

Just relaxing before T day. Last year this time we were all in Atlanta to celebrate with the entire Hugel clan and friends.

It was really fun to have everyone together for the day, including little Goose who was brand new but it was a lot of work co ordinating the food and oven space as usual

This year we are staying home and I am making a special dinner for us. I really don't mind as I am so absorbed in projects that I am looking forward to the extra day to work on something.

We are having a big Christmas this year and that is what I am grateful for the most. Having everyone together again, if only for a day or two is my joy.

Oh, I know we will have our moments of dysfunction, who is sleeping where and who used the hot water, but that is what it is all about. There will also be fun and laughter, which I sorely need, and Games to play, and conversation and lots of food. And we also get to celebrate Zak's Birthday with Sue and David, John, Rob and Shannon, and maybe again later in the week. I can't believe he is 40.
It seems like only yesterday he was a little kid.
