We had a fun and quiet Thanksgiving this year. We mostly spent the day at home, lounging, cooking and chatting with family. We even forgot to watch football or the parade. We lucked out to have our friends the Jeppson's over to share in the merriment and the cooking. Ali brought all the veggies and a delicious french apple pie. We made the turkey and stuffing and of course, rolls.
Henry mostly just ate olives and a few bites of the things I made him
try. At preschool they have been learning about turkeys and how we eat
them at Thanksgiving. He kept asking me if the turkey had eyes and feet.
I think it was creeping him out. He for sure didn't connect that he
eats turkey almost every day in his sandwiches. After feasting, the kids ran around playing while we played a game and then ate dessert. Henry also continued to sneak olives all evening until the bowl was empty.
Henry helped me decorate the table. He and Steve went for a walk to gather pine cones and then he helped me put a decoration on each plate and spread the rest around the table.
Steve and I finished off the night watching a Harry Potter marathon and going to sleep early.
The next morning Henry ran into our room and asked if it was Christmas.
Lucky for him we got our tree that day.
