Thanksgiving 2018

With the Provo kids all heading to their in-law families, we decided we would go to Santa Fe for Grandparents Day at Santa Fe Prep and Thanksgiving. With Michelle Obama reading to us from her memoire, the miles zoomed by. The festivities at the school and the Hastings' home were great! And Santa Fe is always fun.

 Anders and the Jazz Band performing for Grandparents at Prep

 We got to hear the band jam in their class

 Lunch with the boys and the daughters and parents of Rob's colleague

 Getting the rotkohl started

 Grammy and Pop Pop at the stove

 Rancho de Chimayo for Lu's birthday 

 Pretty fun and definitely delicious

 The old ranch house setting is great

 Happy diners, especially the momma

 Birthday celebration back at home

 19 fingers

 Light 'em up

 Still cooking on Thanksgiving morning

 This would soon become like Shakespeare's "groaning board"

 The preparation takes hours and it's all gone in minutes

 Getting close: the bird is done

 Rob escaped work long enough to carve the bird and eat dinner

 Let the games begin

 Wonderful as always

 One of several outings on the La Tierra trails

 Lights on at the Santa Fe Plaza

 Grammy and the Hastings

 Farolitos on the Plaza

 The Cathedral and La Fonda Hotel with farolitos

 The Loretto Chapel after dark

A spectacular NM sunset the night before we came home

Thanks to the Hastings for hosting. This was a wonderful visit, but this is all for now.
