Thanksgiving #1 and #2

Thanksgiving #1

Eric cooked up our giant pumpkin in the uber-steamy kitchen and we made pumpkin pie and pumpkin muffins. Mmmm.


On Wednesday night, we had a great Thanksgiving feast at Mary and Amanda's place on the south side. Lots of Holy Covenant folks came by, along with some of Amanda's family. It was great fun.


A few weeks ago, I got a free hair cut from Ricardo at C Salon, a fancy downtown place. Ricardo is a really great stylist and I have already recommended him to lots of folks. And he's a cool person who has come to church with us the past three Sundays and become a new friend!



Thanksgiving #2

Justin and Lil arrived on Thursday and we cooked up a yummy tofurky in sweet potatoes and onions


It had snowed in Chicago two nights before, but there was nothing on the ground until we got to this stretch of I-94 in Michigan. We stopped at a rest stop for a little snowball fight and then, 20 minutes down the road, the snow was gone!


When we got into Lansing, we stopped for some amazing food at Aladdin's, Justin's favorite restaurant from his time at MSU. The Turkish coffee was intense!
