So I'm a little late with the holiday recap, despite the fact that our Thanksgiving weekend included plenty of "lying around time."
I realized Sunday night how relaxing our holiday had been, having not traveled for Thanksgiving for the first time in . . . well, since leaving home for college, I guess. We went to Matt's parents' house for a big midday meal and hung out until what would have been dinnertime, had we needed to eat again, but otherwise enjoyed a lot of time just being together at home.
Thanksgiving began with coffee and muffins, and I realized how late the Macy's parade comes on. I guess with grandparents in the house in past years, I got to sleep in until closer to parade time!
And I made my one contribution to Thanksgiving dinner: a pumpkin pie with a braided crust. I'm not a foodie at all, putting presentation over culinary skill, so in true Jessica fashion, I used Pillsbury crusts and put my energy instead into dividing, rolling, and braiding strips of dough, then agonizing over the baking process to make sure my creation didn't burn.
It didn't :0)
The real bird was lovely as well.
Claire ate plenty of pumpkin muffins, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and broccoli casserole, while Kate enjoyed the giant turkey leg!
As always, I am most thankful for my beautiful girls.
Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving!

That parade sure does start late! Katelyn was up at about 6:00 ready to watch it...and we sure did have a time trying to keep her happy until it came on. We also had a time running "commercial interference". 97% of all of our TV viewing is done on Netflix, so we're just not used to all of the commercials for annoying toys and scary (to our 3.5 year old) movies/TV shows.
