We hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, we did here. This was the first year that we had Thanksgiving by ourselves since we got married. We usually spend it with our family or our extended Air Force family. This year we expected to be in Albuquerque for turkey day. Even though we would have loved to travel up to our families the thought of another long car ride so soon after our cross country haul was enough to keep us home. We have been so busy the last month a quiet day at home sounded heavenly! But staying home also meant that I was responsible for cooking. As most of you know culinary skills are not at the top of my list. But I was actually impressed with the results. All the food was cooked, done on time and edible. SCORE!
Jack was not feeling well today. He ran a very high temp (104+) over the past two days so he didn't eat much at dinner. We had a great time today none the less. The day started out with us watching the Macy's parade of course. Jack loved watching all the balloons and performers. Then we snacked our way through the day until dinner time. It was a very nice, relaxing day!!
Watching the parade.....
Jack had to try everything on the plate..literally. He would take a bite of cheese or cracker then move onto the next piece.
The feast....we even pulled out the good china :) I think this was the first time we actually ate in our dining room too!
The aftermath....at least I burned off some calories doing those dishes.
