We made it through our first Thanksgiving with only a few minor disasters. I decided to cook almost all the Thanksgiving meal for the second time in my life. My mother-in-law brought the stuffing and pumpkin pie, my mother brought the booze, and Josh smoked the turkey. My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal is the sweet potato casserole which proved almost disastrous. My marshmallow topping overflowed onto the bottom of the oven filling the entire house with smoke! This tripped our smoke alarm which is hardwired to our security company...the dispatcher promptly chimed in over the loudspeaker asking if we needed the fire department. I, embarrassingly, explained that I just burned dinner! At least the house didn't burn down and it does make for a good story!
We were able to celebrate Thanksgiving with my dad and Darla on Wednesday! They provided my favorite Thanksgiving treat, PIZZA!
This Thanksgiving allowed us to really reflect and think about what's important to us. It's not money or material things but family, good health, and friendship. I am so thankful that the boys have such wonderful grandparents and are able to spend so much time with them.
