Grandma and Grandpa LaBore made the trek from Minnesota to Park City for Beck’s first Thanksgiving. It was great to have them in town for a few days and for Beck’s first Turkey. We also had the pleasure of our friends Marit, Bill, and Hazel as guests. We all were thankful to be around family (new family in the
case of Beck and Hazel) and good friends.

We had quite the feast and leftovers for days, which none of us seemed to mind. I decided to try to fry a turkey this year. It was well worth the hassle it and I think everyone would agree. Nicole also made a tasty new sweet potato dish that everyone loved. My Dad made his usual stuffing and Mom her mashed potatoes. Marit brought some awesome home-made apple and coconut cream pie as well as some dinner rolls.  Bill won the “who ate the most” award, although Hazel came in a close 2nd (girl did some damage on the sweet potatoes).

All in all, it was a great time with family and friends. It always goes a little too fast for all the effort everyone puts in. In traditional post Thanksgiving day fashion, we also put our first family Xmas tree in Park City. It was great to have Mom and Dad around to help. Given Beck’s mobility and strong desire to eat everything in sight, we went sans glass bulbs this year, just lights and tinsel. All in all, I think it still turned out pretty well. Loving life in Park City, especially now that we’re blanketed in snow…
