Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. The cool weather mixing with the remaining leaves of Fall. Walking into a warm house and smelling the different aromas wafting through the rooms carrying the anticipation of the holiday meal to come........aahhh...perfection!
We started off the day going to Adam’s parents house and the food was fantastic! It was the epitome of what Thanksgiving dinner should be. Everything was delicious! Barb made the best sweet potatoes. (I want the recipe!) They were fabulous. You know the meal is good when even Emma, Ashley & Zack made all gone.
It was such a nice, relaxing afternoon. It was small and intimate, no extended family. Jill & Scotty left early with the kids because they had two other places to go. What a full day for them!
When we got ready to leave so Adam could rest, Ashley had settled under a blanket with her Grandma and looked so sweet and cozy. Adam’s dad had reclined in his Lazy Boy and looked like he wasn’t going to be able to keep his eyes open much longer. Taby settled in on the couch, and looked so relaxed and comfy.
We braved the cold and drove back to the house where Adam immediately laid down on the couch and fell asleep. He slept for hours. I went to dad’s and let Adam stay home so he could rest. He’s been fighting a bad sinus infection for a few days, and we didn’t want to chance him getting worse.
Dad’s Thanksgiving dinner was great. As always, his girlfriend is so creative with her dishes. The food was great! For dessert, there were 3-4 different choices!!! Yum! (can you say ‘elastic waist pants’?)
It started off small, then right before I left, the girls friends started trickling in one by one to say hello. I wanted to get home and check on Adam, so I said my good-byes and headed for the house.
When I walked in the door he was still fast asleep. I tried to be quiet, but he still heard me moving around the house. He looked a little better after he woke up, so we settled in to watch a comedy called ‘Land of the Lost’. (this movie is hilarious! If you like Will Farrell, you will rank this up there with 'Taladega Nights'!).
We were both pretty beat after that, and we called it a night and got ready for bed. Even with the hours in between meals, our bellies were still full as we settled in under the covers. (confession: I am still full!)
Holiday season is in full swing, and we are eagerly looking forward to more quality time to spend with family and friends.
Hopefully you all will be able to do the same.
