Thanksgiving #1 was on Wednesday night. Jimmy channeled his inner Crumbl and made cherry cheesecake cookies. It was a graham cracker cookie, cream cheese frosting, and cherry pie filling.
Pretty traditional Thanksgiving fare was on the menu.
We also made mini chocolate pies for the kids before starting the pool tournament. I was surprised to see we'd never had a 5 person bracket before, so I had to look up how to make one.
I was the first person knocked out, but there was some pretty intense game play for Jimmy. He and Jayden were down to just the 8 ball and pockets on the opposite sides of the table. Neither wanted to make a risky move, but Jayden finally did and ended up losing.
Esme is honing her drawing skills by doing a picture of Grandpa Buxton.
It was at this point I realized I forgot to take a picture of the cookies, so here it is cut in half with a healthy serving of cherries. Esme kept telling me she wanted pumpkin pie, but only ate the whipped cream.
Jimmy was able to play a calm and cool final game to take home his first title over Jayden. (There was a second tournament on Thanksgiving Day with my brother and his girlfriend in which grandpa took the win, so there will be a dual title this year.). Hopefully we can all be together like normal next year.
