Thankgiving Day (4 weeks)

Pappy came over yesterday and helped put up Christmas decorations. Here he is holding Maddie in his Bill Cosby sweater. Aunt Nea and cousin Justin also came up for Thanksgiving dinner. Daddy was going to deep fry a turkey but when he went to take it out of the fridge, it was still completely frozen solid. Dang high-efficiency, well-insulated refrigerator. So that forced a trip to the grocery store to get a fresh turkey and an extra gallon of peanut oil. After testing the turkey volume with water, we discovered we didn't have enough peanut oil, so Pappy volunteered to run to the store this time. We finished off the keg of Spotted Cow and had a really nice dinner. Grandma Freise sent most of it: Cranberry jam, sweet potatoes, stuffing, rolls, and gravy.Maddie was up bright and early and very perky.Maddie slept in Aunt Nea's arms for 2 hours!
