Theater Family Thanksgiving

Our schedule was completely insane this year, and without the trusty Subaru, we decided that travelling to Homer for Thanksgiving just wasn't feasible. It was a real bummer to be away from the family for the first time on Thanksgiving, but luckily enough we were invited to Andrew and Keila's for a Theater Family Thanksgiving.

Dax and Deb enjoyed chillin' on the same chair together before dinner:

Katie and Alison, also orphaned this Thanksgiving, await the feast:


This is what a vegetarian's Thanksgiving plate looks like! Clockwise from the top: yams, roasted corn salad, pumpkin lasagna, my green bean casserole, pineapple bread pudding. Who needs turkey?


Well, apparently Deb does. This is a carnivore's Thanksgiving plate:


Susan entertained us at the dinner table:


Happy Thanksgiving! Around the table from the left: Keila, Rajiv, random German guy (and the only non-theater person among us!), Susan, Katie, Alison, Shon, Deb, Carolyn


Dax is super excited about dinner....


Dessert time! There were so many options, so little stomach space... but we managed to pack it all in somehow! Naturally there was pie, but Andrew also made pumpkin ice cream and cranberry sorbet too!


Susan & Keila bond over dessert:


Dax got sucked in again by the Wiggles after dinner:


Post-dinner glazed eyes from Deb & Alison:


Rajiv is ready for his nap. (Don't you love him & Deb's matching sweaters?)


Even Dax started to think about bedtime!
It was so wonderful to be surrounded by such lovely people and such delicious food. A huge thank-you to Andrew & Keila for being such amazing hosts!

This was truly a family Thanksgiving: even though none of us were blood related, we are the family that theater created and it was great to celebrate this holiday together.
