Thanksgiving 2025

I now have the Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving off as holiday time.  Tammy was able to get both days off this year.  So we headed to Vermont to be with family.  We left 530am Thursday morning for a 'trafficless' drive of 3 hours to the VT Grandparents.  Around 10am, the NY Gangwers arrived, and we all ate a breakfast of Eggs in a basket and sausage.  I spent some time before the festivities were to begin at 2pm making a container of Thai tea for everyone to tryl

Thanksgiving dinner was in the church's fellowship hall at 2pm with all the Beauchemin's in attendance along with the aforementioned VT Grandparents, NY Gangwers, and a special appearance by Vania's sister Ellie.  We had all the trimmings - turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, green been casserole, homemade and canned cranberry sauce, and rolls.  The dessert table was just as full with apple, pumpkin, and pecan pie, pumpkin roll, and pumpkin bread.  After feasting, some put together 'Lego' Christmas ornaments while the rest of us sat around chatting.  Everyone returned to the VT Grandparents for an evening of snacking on leftovers and a game of 'Scattergories'.  See link for pictures - https://photos.app.goo.gl/WciYGMaxUW6VRqVy9

Tammy went out and about Black Friday shopping the next morning.  When she returned, the NY Gangwer girls and I made Dubai Chocolate from a Mr. CoCo kit I had brought up with us.  It was enjoyed by most better than the Thai tea.  Otherwise it was a quiet day sitting around, chilling out, and eating. The evening was spent playing 'Scattergories'.  

Tammy and I spent time Saturday designing and cutting out our pinewood derby cars for their upcoming February race in VT.  Rachelle ordered pizza for dinner as some tired of Thanksgiving leftovers.  The day ended with playing the game 'How Well Do You Know Your Family?'.

Sunday morning found Tammy and I leaving early to avoid the holiday rush home with a cooler full of Thanksgiving leftovers of which I'm not sure I could ever tire of.
