We headed north for the Koles/Ehrlich Thanksgiving extravaganzapalooza after work on Tuesday. After a better-than-expected dinner from Wa Wa, we arrived at David's parents place and spent the night in Scotch Plains. We continued on towards good ol Forest Hills in the morning.
Wednesday was full of prepping...
We brined the birds, made cornbread, soup and lots more.
The fridge was at max capacity!
Thursday was perfect. We woke up around 7, Brian snoozed while David and Dad made stuffing and got the turkeys in the oven.
Then, the 3 chefs (Dad, Brian and David) discussed menu and strategy before some light manual labor.
Mom came by with some much-needed breakfast. Mmmm, love those New York Bagels!
Then it was back to work.
Everything went perfectly! There were no water-main breaks this year, no acts of vengeance by mother nature- traffic was great and everyone even found parking!
Hangin' with Fran and Dov

It was great to see Devaki and Mallika -We hope they come back again next year.
We (somewhat belatedly) celebrated Virginia's birthday..
...as well as Grandpa Don's 80th!
We have SO MANY leftovers- we could have fed another 20!
