Juliana appeared for a repeat of the pumpkin picture IMG_0015 and then posed IMG_0016 as we wondered if Cider House Rules IMG_0017 would get watched by Jane IMG_0018 and John IMG_0019 even as Juliana IMG_0020 told Sarah and Suzanne about her life and the butter IMG_0021 and sugar IMG_0022 got ready for the condensed milk IMG_0023 as Suzanne IMG_0024 stirred and then went back to her pedicure IMG_0025 which seemed to make her happy IMG_0026 even as Ben and I played PayDay IMG_0027 while the cake IMG_0028 got ready and Kim made this slice of pizza IMG_0029 and added pepperoni IMG_0030 as Ben did electronics IMG_0031 and I missed IMG_0032 and then captured myself IMG_0033 for a profile shot even as the cake completed IMG_0034 and we called it a day.

Thursday morning was the main event and the onions cooked IMG_0035 as the bread waited IMG_0036 and Suzanne relaxed IMG_0037 as Ben IMG_0038 had a pre-game game IMG_0039 while the Huang boys IMG_0040 arrived to be greeted by Jane IMG_0041 even as Justin IMG_0042 showed off his injuries and the McKeons (and Uncle Mikey) IMG_0043 arrived ahead of Nathaniel IMG_0044 while Ross tied Caleb's shoes IMG_0045 and we were ready to head off to the game. Along the way, we ran into Eddie IMG_0046 and his family IMG_0047 as the pride of PHS 2002 posed IMG_0048 and the games began.

After the game, we returned home where Suzanne and Kim IMG_0125 were at work, Jane IMG_0126 was serving the postgame food and Ben IMG_0127 was doing the PS/2 thing even as food emerged IMG_0128 IMG_0129 and was served to Jon IMG_0130 Justin IMG_0131 and Jane IMG_0132 even as Amv came back with Sarah IMG_0133 IMG_0134 as the Mediterranean dish IMG_0135 and the first poppers IMG_0136 were served and Amv IMG_0137 got ready for the bloody Mary's IMG_0138 as the assembled IMG_0139 brought their shoes IMG_0140 and Ben and Norma IMG_0141 played gin. Scott (another of the books) arrived IMG_0142 as did the Gespass'es IMG_0143 as Andy IMG_0144 did the commercial thing and more food IMG_0145 IMG_0146 was served even as Sarah and friends IMG_0147 IMG_0148 IMG_0149 IMG_0150 did the Thanksgiving warmth thing and Debbie IMG_0151 Andy IMG_0152 and Sam IMG_0153 wondered what Ben IMG_0154 Jane (of bulging eyes) IMG_0155 and I (of self portrait) IMG_0156 were thinking though Jane's eyes seemed to lose their bulge IMG_0157 as the wine IMG_0158 was brought out and the television (makeover) IMG_0159 made Sarah and friends IMG_0160 fall into a trance IMG_0161 that could only be ended by the appearance of food IMG_0162 and more food IMG_0163 and soup IMG_0164 which made Ben's plate IMG_0165 amuse Jane IMG_0166 as her plate IMG_0167 evolved IMG_0168 into final form IMG_0169 and she joined Ben IMG_0170 at the table IMG_0171 as my plate took form IMG_0172 and the crowd returned for seconds IMG_0173 IMG_0174 IMG_0175 and came back to enjoy at the table IMG_0176 IMG_0177 IMG_0178 IMG_0179 IMG_0180 IMG_0181 our side IMG_0182 and their's IMG_0183 as a few of the desserts IMG_0184 IMG_0185 were served along with the basket Katy made IMG_0186 as the college kids IMG_0187 were amused and Lewis took a few pics IMG_0188 as Sam IMG_0189 IMG_0190 posed in the doorway and more dessert was served IMG_0191 IMG_0192 as we recorded the San Pellegrino bottle IMG_0193 and made various attempts to get a good piece of a piece of chocolate IMG_0194 IMG_0195 IMG_0196 IMG_0197 with the various settings of the camera.

Friday, Jane rushed hair blown IMG_0198 to sing as Sam, Debbie and Katy IMG_0199 admired the tree IMG_0200 and the crowd IMG_0201 IMG_0202 included Celia Chazelle IMG_0203 who resisted the paparazzi even as Michael and Caroline's sister IMG_0204 and her parents IMG_0205 enjoyed the show.

Afterwards we made our way to Nassau Hall where Kim found the light switches IMG_0206 and then Sam IMG_0207 and Kim IMG_0208 flanked by her legions and then alone IMG_0209 IMG_0210 did the presidential thing.

Back at home there was more food IMG_0211 and more eaters IMG_0212 IMG_0213 even as the brie IMG_0214 filled stomachs IMG_0215 and Ben IMG_0216 ate IMG_0217 and then posed IMG_0218 with his new found chicken bone IMG_0219 as the assembled IMG_0220 IMG_0221 IMG_0222 IMG_0223 got closer IMG_0224 more remote IMG_0225 and closer again IMG_0226 IMG_0227 as the wine flowed IMG_0228 and a few IMG_0229 wanted soda IMG_0230 as Dan Yi IMG_0231 and Maggie IMG_0232 appeared though Dan IMG_0233 forgot to clean up his mess again. The assembled IMG_0234 realized it was time to go to Glenside where this gentleman IMG_0235 helped fill our carts IMG_0236 to the amusement of Andy IMG_0237 and the crowd that greeted us when we returned home wondering where Lewis might be.

Saturday morning, Andy and Sam IMG_0239 IMG_0240 did their photo followed by Lewis IMG_0241 Debbie IMG_0242 Sarah IMG_0243 Jane IMG_0244 Suzanne IMG_0245 Ben IMG_0246 and me IMG_0247 even as the phone IMG_0248 elicited anonymity IMG_0249 from Ben IMG_0250 and we wondered IMG_0251 whether to light the candle IMG_0252 which up close IMG_0253 would emit an odor that might upset my cereal IMG_0254 and milk IMG_0255 as Jane IMG_0256 prepared to head to her luncheon (to which we were not invited) and 3 generations of Gespass women posed IMG_0257 before a group of us went on a walk only to meet the others along the canal IMG_0258 before returning home for a visit from the Hunts.

We greeted them at the door IMG_0259 along with their niece IMG_0260 as the children played IMG_0261 IMG_0262 and the parents IMG_0263 IMG_0264 watched and as more playing IMG_0265 led the bigger kids to PS/2 IMG_0266 as Andy IMG_0267 tried to capture the scene but others settled into the couch IMG_0268 IMG_0269 to visit. Later, Suzanne IMG_0270 and Jane IMG_0271 got us ready for our movie excursion.

Sunday morning, people assembled in the kitchen IMG_0272 IMG_0273 as the butter melted IMG_0274 under Suzanne's watchful eye IMG_0275 and Ben hid IMG_0276 then appeared IMG_0277 IMG_0278 as Katy IMG_0279 and Jane IMG_0280 IMG_0281 ate bagels IMG_0282 and Jane IMG_0283 and Ben IMG_0284 helped the others IMG_0285 think about a departure as Ben IMG_0286 the girls IMG_0287 and Suzanne IMG_0288 said good bye to Lewis IMG_0289 and to the others IMG_0290 who came back for a few farewell shots IMG_0291 IMG_0292 and so ended a very happy Thanksgiving celebration.
