Thanksgiving and Shriya’s wedding week are all in one this year. Aanika was thrilled to see Jatin come out of the train arriving home! The photos below cover Brunch at mom and dad’s house the day before Thanksgiving to welcome the out of town family, then the evening of Thanksgiving which was a quiet and lovely hangout at home (just the 4 of us and Billy and Brownie) followed by the premier of the much anticipated Stranger Things 5 Final Season Part 1. I even tried to put the Demogoran shape into the burnt pumpkin pie! (total fail – but a funny memory). read more

Thanksgiving 2024

We had a lovely, calm Thanksgiving this year. We started by going to Mommy & Daddy’s house for brunch. Mark our neighbor was home for the holiday from college so he joined us for the weekend. Genesis was also with us in the morning to accompany and help with Aanika 🙂 Jatin played some piano for us and we got to FaceTime with Neera and fam. In the evening I cooked up steak and some sides followed by pies and we watched Sylvester Stallone’s “Over the Top” arm wrestling movie! The following day we saw some of the family at Puneet and Dominic’s baby shower and then had Mom Gundara, Tamana, Gee, Neha, Brody, Gia, Aakash and Amrita all visited. Aanika also had a play date with Aman & Kenny’s son Aikam. We have so much to be grateful for. Thank you God for all your blessings and may you continue to look over our beautiful family with good health, peace, love and safety, always. read more

We had a lovely Thanksgiving. Kickstarted the day at mommy and daddy’s for brunch and then had a quiet dinner at home in the evening. We have so much to be thankful for but most of all I feel blessed to have my family near me to hug and cherish everyday.

Thanksgiving 2022

Well November didn’t turn out quite how we had expected. We were supposed to head to Houston for a gaming expo and to meet some friends but the week before Aanika came down with Covid after being exposed at school. Nick was out of town for work so I had to break the news to him that Sunday. By Wednesday I had Covid and by Friday Nick and Jatin were positive as well. Anyhow we cancelled Houston and could not attend the yearly Thanksgiving party at Narindar Aunties home. Instead we celebrated as a family at home…but Thanksgiving with muted taste and lack of smell senses is not quite as fun! Nani made us a delicious sweet potato dish which we need to make again so we can fully enjoy it! We did get out for a hike, and enjoyed some fresh air in our backyard. Regardless we are very grateful for our beautiful family unit and are blessed to have each other. Life is beautiful even with Covid 🙂 read more
