Thanksgiving 2009

Thanksgiving was celebrated this year in San Diego at Liz's house. With the Done's, the Madsen's, and the Reed's all congregating we sorely missed the Nickle's.

Thanksgiving dinner was held onboard Devin's ship...and was FREE! What an experience! We were able to eat in the "Wardroom" which is where the Officer's of the ship eat. It was small but we all fit. The food was surprisingly amazing and we all enjoyed stuffing our faces and basking in the conversation and presence of family.

We shopped and walked around downtown San Diego. So much fun! We ate ice-cream in the rain. The boyz all went to the Zoo while the ladies did some fun shopping. Said shopping included the amazing South Sun bead store and Michaels. And one of the best parts of the weekend was just sitting on the couch lounging about (eating pie...naturally!) while Connor, Nathan, and Matthew all played brilliantly together. It was difficult to say goodbye in the end.

Not the most original but definitely the easiest.

The beautiful Done girls.

Heather had to concentrate really hard to maintain this "look". The other two didn't even try.

And of course there were preparations to be made, and artwork to be done...

We all, young and old, had a great time.

These lovely and very nice people posing with Heather are from the local bikers club who mistakenly assumed that there would be beer served. Which means they didn't stay long.
