The fun continued. Friday, the Hammerbergs had everyone over for a champagne tasting and dinner. What fun is that? Karin, we did our best to pick the sparkle-ing-est! It was hard work, but someone had to do it.

Lucy made a delicious squash soup that I wouldn't mind having the recipe for, hint, hint. Also, pork loin and the best ever pecan pie and pumpkin! So yummy! Lots of talk and catching up! Great times!

Thanksgiving 2011

Happy Thanksgiving from the Scheidts! What a wonderful Thanksgiving this year! But you know, Kris, Dad and I were saying that we need to start documenting the "who, what, where and why" of family holidays. This resulted from the family discussions that always occur during such gatherings. It begins with someone asking "where did we have thanksgiving (fill in the blank) year and who was there. So Dad assigned me the job of archivist; this is the first entry.

We had a good portion of the family together but missed some important family members. Peter spent the holiday in Vermont with Anna and her family. Hannah ate turkey in Ketchum, Idaho. She just started her new job with ScotteVest. Karin and Asa celebrated with Asa's family in Massachusetts. Karl and Andrea celebrated alone together in Bloomington. They have been traveling a lot recently and were looking forward to the "together time". Erin, Erik and Priska (5 months old) spent the weekend in Paris. They live in Basel.

Mom and Dad drove down from Door County. They arrived on the Weds before Thanksgiving Day. Kurt is living in New York and works for WGSN. He flew to Indy on Friday before tday and drove up with us. Camille is in school at Scripps, CA. She's a senior. The last of the grandchildren to be in college. Craig is working in DC and really likes his job. He also had a week off! Clint lives in Breckenridge, Colorado. He coaches football, skis and is working towards a teaching license. Clint did a super job carving the turkey!
