Nov. 25, 2010 - Happy Thanksgiving!

Earlier in the week we went to Habitot in Berkeley, a children's indoor play area. Here is Riley at Mission Control.

She sat in front of the mirror and painted her face

She really loved playing with the boys at the train table

Pushing the train through the tunnel was fascinating

They had a huge wall the kids could paint on

Consulting with fellow artists Keeghan and Selina

Riley has quite an attention span and painted long after her friends had moved on

Riley was such a good hostess she helped Fred stir his bloody mary

And fed Aza crackers

Chad cooked the turkey on the Komodo grill

The bird was amazing!

The Thanksgiving crew

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with friends. Fred and Mary came from Sacramento, Henry and Jessica from Berkeley and Joe and Aza drove all the way from the LA area to celebrate with us. Chad cooked the turkey on our Komodo grill and it was amazing, possibly his best bird ever. Everyone brought some sides and we had quite a feast. We loved spending the day with our close friends, watching football and relaxing. We’re lucky to have such good friends in our lives.
