The obvious question is this: "Why are you dressed up in Japanese garb in a post about Thanksgiving?" Great question. Cathie's Mom returned last week from a three-month stay in Japan and she was kind enough to give us all traditional Japanese clothing. The kids especially dug their outfits. Nate never took off his Samurai robe and head-band and the Cathie's Mom helped the girls put on their very complex outfits.
After tree shopping, Cathie's brother Ed and wife Stacy came by for Thanksgiving dinner on Friday. Again, we ate and ate. Cathie's Mom is a great cook and single-handedly made a ginormous delicious meal for all of us.
We hung out that night playing a game of ultra-competitive-family-Uno. It was the kind of game where people held long grudges on draw-fours, and Emily (sitting between Cathie and her Grandpa) never quite understood how someone could skip, reverse, or draw-two/draw-four her.
It was a great game, and I (sitting between Cathie and Ed) got it from both sides, losing badly, while Emily finished in third place.
As the kids grow up, it's fun to watch them get involved in some of these family traditions.
