Thanksgiving Dinner

It was Thanksgiving when most of my friends left Lincoln and me and a few of others here.

So, My housemate and I joined an American, Helen's family for the Thanksgiving dinner.

The living room

This was Helen's house with her son, Tyler sitting there. Helen was a nice and lovely woman. This house had a great story. She built this house with her husband and moved to a farm house not long after that.

Family gathering

She missed this house a lot since it was what she and her husband built together. After her husband passed away two years ago, the house was on sale again by the previous owner so she bought it back and moved in, staying there alone.

When she talked about the story behind this house and how her husband wanted the house to be, i could see a lot of stories in her eyes.

Tyler by the corner

I like this corner a lot. Warm light, comfortable couch, peaceful view...

A warm dining area

Here comes the Thanksgiving meal!!!

Thanksgiving Meal

It's not dinner actually... It was around 1 pm when we had the Thanksgiving meal. Of course, Thanksgiving meal is about turkey...

The dinner was awesome, thanks to Helen, Karen (her sister-in-law), and Kristy (her in-law's sister-in-law).

Time to go outdoor for American family game...

Some simple baseball...

Another thing about Thanksgiving, it was for family gathering. So, family members might just get together and play some simple games, watch football, and take a nap.

Board game: Trivia

1

It was mostly about asking and answering trivia questions.

2

The guy in the middle was Steve who was supposed to be in Houston, Texas suddenly showed up at the door surprisingly when his dad talked about him...

2

"My second son, steve is teaching in Houston... Oopss.. no, he is there?!" Staring at the door, surprisingly.

2

The women were so surprised and yelled, followed by a big hug. So sweet....

When we were leaving the house, I saw Helen was alone in the house. I was overwhelmed with mixed feelings.
