Thanksgiving Saturday began with a concert. Benjamin got his violin ready PB240543 and then needed help from Sarah PB240544 to see if we could adjust the strings PB240545 which we unfortunately could not until later ( see below ). Jane played the flute PB240546 PB240547 PB240548 and Sarah played the piano PB240549 PB240550 All this excitement caused Suzanne to have one, PB240551 two, PB240552 and then three PB240553 phone calls.

In the evening, John Huang and Dan Yi PB240554 showed up thinking that they could see The Matrix here. But Sarah and Claire PB240555 had other plans PB240556 that they had to act out sometimes moving PB240557 very rapidly. Sarah took a phone call as Lily and Claire PB240558 sorted scraps of paper on the floor next to PB240559 Dan. The sorting continued PB240560 amid an effort to capture Dan's face PB240561 as he and Benjamin PB240562 slugged it out on Madden 2001 as David watched. PB240563 It took many tries PB240564 PB240565 PB240566 PB240567 and still his whole face wasn't captured even as Piya PB240568 and Jess PB240569 came rushing in the door while Lily PB240570 continued to sort paper and John and Dan PB240571 PB240572 focused on the football game. Jess and Piya PB240573 posed for this calmer picture and the gang of girls did a few PB240574 PB240575 group shots as Suzanne PB240576 PB240577 talked to Lauren on the phone.

The football game continued with Dan focused and Ben dancing PB240578 because of his great lead. PB240579 Dan concentrated harder PB240580 as did Ben PB240581 while Lily posed for a number of pictures PB240582 PB240583 PB240584 PB240585 PB240586 before John Huang ended the evening with a few family pictures PB240587 PB240588
