Thanksgiving 2022

I can't believe I took so few pictures this year for Thanksgiving :(

Mom's birthday was the day before the holiday so we had her blow out some candles in one of the pies.

Bless her for always being a good sport about preparing food on her birthday and sharing the festivities with a holiday.

After our meal at Mom and Dad's we all went to the Institute (except for Mom and Dad who stayed back with Ben) and played games.  We started with Throw Throw Burrito and then did some version of Sardines in the big, dark, maze of a building.  It was super fun :)

Josh called while we were there so I talked to him for a while before the rest of the gang talked me into playing while I chatted with him...this me finding Abby under a table while with Josh...

A little bit of ping pong and pool at the end.

T's brother J was visiting for a while and he joined us

I was feeling a bit sentimental and took a picture of the spot where Andy and I both hid the last round of Sardines.  We were on opposite sides of the glass with a plant in front of both of us.  This was near the front entrance.  We were the last ones to be found and thought we were quite clever.

Also, everyone had the same plan of reserving the building for the holiday the last year it was available.

Back at the ranch, leftovers were pulled out and games were played.

Dad is always such a good sport to play with Ben.

This is the weekend where we were introduced to "Quacks" and we have been addicted ever since.
