The Second Thanksgiving

Here is a picture of the Second Thanksgiving which occurred yesterday, Sunday November 30th. This was with the members of Tim's extended family (not all pictured here) which we cooked and served at our house. We had all the traditional food including another of my pumpkin pies (which unfortunately no one boldly tried).
We used the special fall candles my mom sent me recently to help decorate the table, and I told the Thanksgiving story a bit more briefly to the family. We even had place cards with everyone's real name as well as their pilgrim name which were present at the original first Thanksgiving in 1621. Everyone wrote things they were thankful for on a sticky note which we stuck to the glass door in the conservatory. everyone seemed to enjoy the evening, and we played chronology and Yahtzee to pass the time when we were stuck for conversation. In this picture, from left to right: David Webb, Phil Webb, Me, Margaret Webb, Andrew McDonald, Alex Webb.
