After 4 years<\/a> of hosting<\/a> and roasting<\/a> our own bird<\/a>, we re-kindled our old Thanksgiving potluck connection and celebrated at Eugenie, John, and Nara’s house. The last time, five years ago<\/a>, neither Tobin nor Nara existed. With 6 adults and 3 kids, we had a considerably smaller group than in the years past, but our 15* dishes sprawled across two tables and we feasted for hours. Pictured above are my two different dinner plates and the desserts. The kids had a great time, especially after dinner when they caught a second wind and stayed up until about 10:00 pm. Nara, sporting Mika’s baby PJ’s, showed off her new walking skills and Mika worked through an entire pack of orange origami paper … learning a trick or two from Eugenie.<\/p>\n
