Elizabeth and I took a fall trip to New York for a couple different events. We stayed at the New York Palace which is right behind me in this picture.

Our first event was an awards dinner for the Bravewell Collaborative. The keynote speaker was Dr. Mehmet Oz. Elizabeth and I both took turns snapping a picture with the celebrity doctor.

The next day we walked all over the city including a visit to Zuccotti Park where the Occupy Wall Street crowd was still in full force. Two days later the police came in and cleared them out.

We hosted Thanksgiving again this year. Jett brought a couple friends home from college so we ended up with 17 people overnight in our house and two staying at the neighbor's. The grandmas relaxed in the living room and let the next generation crowd their way through the kitchen.

Elizabeth coerced Jett and his friends to put up the outdoor Christmas lights. I asked her if she had made the most recent insurance policy payment?

Jett climbed up the tree to get the lights in perfect position.

The next morning our full house arose and got busy making the annual lefse supply. Here's Jett rolling out a perfect piece of lefse.
