We did something crazy for Thanksgiving this year. All of the Kerrs came up and we gathered in Reedsport to celebrate Thanksgiving at Grandad's house. It was a bit crowded at times, but we had a lot of fun. Since we were already in Oregon and other family members were traveling, I got to do some extra food prep on Wednesday including making my first pecan pie. I was a little nervous making pecan pie for the first time for such a special occasion, but I was happy with how it turned out.
As expected, we had a feast on Thursday. We ate out on the patio, so it was a little chilly but not bad.

After dinner, Laura, Lamar, and I headed out on a walk with the kids. We quickly realized that we were all spouses of the Kerr family. Then we ran into Gayle, also a Kerr spouse. So all four of the Kerr spouses ended up going on a walk together: the Kerr spouse clan.
Friday afternoon we drove down to Shore Acres. We arrived in time for a beautiful sunset.

All of us at Shore Acres.
After enjoying the sunset, we walked through the gardens and admired the lights. It really is impressive; so many lights in one place.
Bethany and Laura left to return home after viewing the lights and the rest of us got seafood for dinner before returning to Reedsport.
Saturday we enjoyed a day around Grandad's house and finished things off with the famous taco pizza. This is something the Kerrs enjoyed frequently on trips to Oregon and I'd heard about, but never experienced. It was fun to finally try some. After dinner, we headed back to Eugene and everyone else headed back to California, leaving Grandad to enjoy a little peace and quiet.
It was so much fun to have everyone in Oregon for Thanksgiving. I really enjoyed the time spent together and doing something a little wild for the holiday.
