Gobble Gobble in Bend: Family Thanksgiving Feast

Pandemic restrictions couldn't dampen our gratitude as we gathered in our smaller-than-usual but no less spirited Thanksgiving bubble! The aroma of roasting turkey and Mom's secret-recipe stuffing filled every corner of the Bend cabin while snow dusted the ponderosa pines outside our windows like a living Christmas card. Board games turned fiercely competitive after second helpings of pie, and our traditional post-feast walk became an impromptu snowball fight that left everyone breathless with laughter and ready for round two of pumpkin pie with homemade whipped cream.
