The Krieg-Gallun clan has been known to produce some very serious competitions - chief among them those that take place on Thanksgiving. On one such occasion, a touch football game ended with a broken femur and full-leg cast.
This year, we tried to keep it a little more kid-friendly, opting for a family soccer game on Liz Krieg Field.
(Liz Krieg being my mother who had a beautiful turf field hockey field built in her honor because she was just that awesome of a coach.)
With players of all ages, we managed to keep things friendly with my dad even pulling off a few headers:
In addition to some sports, we made time to prep a perfect balance of healthy and not-so-healthy dishes:
spicy sausage stuffing
spinach, persimmon, pomegranate, walnut,
pear, butternut squash salad
We got all dressed up and headed over our lovely grandma's house for a big, delicious dinner.

And then sampling it

The evening ended with those to-die-for pies and one unreal dance performance by a very energized cousin:
Watch out Justin Bieber - he's coming for you

hahaha Justin Beiber watch out is right! Those are some very energetic moves your cousin has! I loved getting dressed up and going to Grandma's house. I was think of the song "Over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go", which is I guess is one of the rare Thanksgiving songs.
