For the first time this year, we had Thanksgiving dinner alone at our house. I was torn between the prospects --relaxing versus feeling depressed-- but relaxing won out all the way! This has been one of those rare long weekends where time seems to pause at all the right moments. The kids and I loved getting our Christmas decorations out and preparing some dishes ahead of time on Wednesday, and we were all quite pleased with the results at Thursday's meal: a very juicy turkey, sweet potatoes, homemade rolls with cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, and corn (the kids had to have something they could recognize!). That evening we enjoyed dessert and laughter with our friends Josh, Monika, and Anna.
Time together in the kitchen
Time to gather at the table
Our new Black Friday tradition? A family hike.
(you get to sleep in, AND burn off some pie!)
Here we are standing on Nymph Lake.
