Thanksgiving #2

We didn't take many pictures at the second Thanksgiving, so not as much to show. Friday morning, mom, dad, T and I headed to Jenn and Pat's place in Madison, where Ed had arrived Thursday night. Mark, Karen, Corey and Niki came later in the day for our Friday Thanksgiving. We played the now-annual football game, though it was short due to time and very chilly weather. Dinner was a feast--way too much food, but that meant lots of leftovers! It was a wonderful, relaxing day, and Jenn and Pat's house looks great.

Every year Pat's family has a mustache contest leading up to Thanksgiving. Except for Pat's brother-in-law John, everyone is blond, so the mustaches, despite great effort, are never terribly visible. (Look hard--you'll see Pat's after a trim job--just mustache and chin hair left.) Ed belatedly joined in the fun this year (maybe 4 days' worth?) and then shaved all but a mini-stache. Jenn and I were both glad when they shaved this fuzz off on Saturday!
