Last night the children and I ate pizza and watched The Mask while Ian was at the church for Jr High. Once they were all in their beds, I sat quietly reading a book on Golden Retrievers and waited for Ian to come home. We then watched The Proposal.
Loved it.
Today was a pretty perfect day.
We all woke up slowly this morning and headed over to my mom's so I could clean & stuff the turkey and get it into the oven by 11am.
Then we headed out to go apple picking at the same orchard we have been going to for 30+ years. Usually we go in the middle of September but we weren't able to find the time to do so. I figured today would be crowded and the pickin's pretty slim, and I was right. But it was a gorgeous fall day and we really enjoyed ourselves. We picked two bags for us and two bags for mom, then looked around their little store for a bit. I bought a pumpkin pie and an apple pie.
Oh I love me some apple pie. Yummeh!
Dinner was so good: turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, carrots, turnip, gravy, salad & rolls. Dessert was a choice of confetti cake, ice cream, pie, brownies, cookies or skor squares.
So good.
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Happy Thanksgiving! Sounds like it was wonderful. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Kate, I don't really post on BF anymore, but still read there occasionally and wanted to say that your comment about when your child slips their hands into yours? Brought me to tears! That IS the most beautiful thing! I really enjoy your personality
ReplyDeleteHi there! I wandered over from the blog frog and I have to admit I was confused to begin with. Thanksgiving is still a whole month away. Then I realized you live in Canada and celebrate Thanksgiving at a different time than us in the US. Sooo with that I'll say, HOPE YOU HAD A HAPPY ONE!
