Happy Thanksgiving!This year we were reminded to take it slow and enjoy the time we have.
For the first time in my life on this planet we did not have a "traditional" Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day. This year 3 of the 7 "kids" had to work on Thanksgiving, so we opted to get together on Friday instead so everyone could be there. We've done this in the past, but we usually still had a small traditional dinner with a few family members followed by a second, big dinner the following day. This year we opted to just stay home and enjoy our family.
We started the day with a bike ride and a trip to the park. We stayed until it started raining - a wonderful treat for us Zonies!
We followed this up with a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving feast for the kids. This was George's idea: before I had agreed he told everyone we were doing it! We did change it up a little though: Toast, popcorn, pretzels and gummi bears (instead of jelly beans) The kids thoroughly enjoyed it.
Andy and I had a slightly different take on turkey dinner too: we feasted on turkey enchiladas and margaritas :)
And: We still got to have a wonderful turkey dinner with the whole family the next day.
