We had wonderful Thanksgiving meal together on Thursday. For the first time ever, it was just us. And, though we thought that it would be a kind-of sad day, it was really great. Of course, we missed our families. Of course, we'd rather they have been here. Don't get me wrong. It was nice though.
We had a very traditional meal. Everybody got to pick something to add to the menu... then helped prepare that part. We always have a great time doing this -- and have done it since the first Thanksgiving the girls could smash corn flakes :-)
Our menu:
Rob: Brown sugar glazed Ham
Melissa: Rosemary Turkey
Grace: Homemade Mashed Potatoes
Faith: Cranberry Sauce (she helped open the can - ha) and deviled eggs
Josh: Pumpkin Pie
Sam: Rolls
Perfect!
The kids did crafts while the food cooked.
Then played on the Wii while I cleaned up. It was a really fun day!
We hope your Thanksgiving was just as great! Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours!
