We played grown-up today and made our first Thanksgiving dinner. Ok, ok we had a LOT of help from Maro which was a lifesaver since tonight was a school night (Comment from Brett: especially given that i forgot to baste the Turkey as previously instructed..)
We are now wrapping up our evening with a warm fire in front of us, a warmth in our heart and full bellies (well, mine more full than others). I love Thanksgiving and while this one was untraditional, it was spent with loved ones and gratitude. What more could we ask for...
He earned a great big hug for tending to the "bird" while I was in meetings all afternoon.
A potential tradition that we started...Thankful 4's. We each had four 4's to write on what we were thankful for. I plan to make these into placemats.
Some of my favorites:
- Oli's: I am thankful for xbox. I am thankful for xbox controllers. Ok, you get the drift.
- Brett's. I am thankful for my great wife that makes me a better person every day. I am thankful that we spend lots more time laughing than crying.
- Charlie: I am thankful that Wendy will have a new little person for me to be involved with.
- Maro: I am thankful for babies.
- Wendy: I am thankful for a stepson that will be a super big brother and a husband that is so very thoughtful.
