Thanksgiving 2016

This year, instead of having Thanksgiving on Mars, we took on the horrible, arduous task of staying at Jon's gorgeous new getaway home to help him make sure it's ready for guests.

It certainly is.

Here are some photos of this little slice of heaven:

Sorry, we had already ruined the lovely pillow arrangement by the time I took the photo

The above is Pickles going to the giant deck doors to admire this view:

Almost as soon as we got there, Chef AJ got to cookin' her famous apple pie:

Pickles dutifully helped keep the floor clean of any food debris:

Then it was on to crab, greens, and mashed potatoes.

Here is the end result of all her hard work:

It was a wonderful meal, and a relaxing few days in Jon's perfect little cottage. We are thankful for Jon's generosity, thankful that crab season opened this year after not being able to open in 2015, and most of all, thankful for the love of all our friends and family.

Happy Thanksgiving!
