We had a lovely Thanksgiving this year. Claire turned 6 months old and is now eating yams! She loves them as long as you catch her at the right time (not too hungry, not too full).
This year I cooked all of the side dishes (minus my uncle’s cream peas). The Turkey we bought from Gelson’s pre-cooked. I wasn’t confident enough to tackle that one on just yet. From Monday to Thursday I think I went to the grocery store eight times!! I kept forgetting small things or I would think we had something when we did not. The worst trip was on Thanksgiving itself, I needed small pans to fit in the chafing dish, the parking lot was crazy, there was even a car crash! Yikes! I was very cautious when I drove out of the parking lot, I didn’t want to get hit by a crazy holiday shopper.
Overall the dinner itself went great. I was proud of myself because everything was yummy 🙂
It was so nice to sit down with the family for dinner. It was great seeing Jason, since he is so busy we don’t see him that often. The girls love it when he comes around. Since we were all together, we took some family photos 🙂
