So we spent our first ever Thankgiving at home...just us. No rushing around to get ready. No packing the diaper bag. No driving for an hour. Just a low-key day hanging out as a family.
Well...I guess it wasn't totally low-key. I still wanted my Thanksgiving dinner! I cooked all of our traditional favorites, substituting a chicken for the turkey. We feasted on roast chicken, cranberries, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy (my first time making gravy!), sweet potato casserole, dinner rolls and lefse.
In what I am still thinking was a Thanksgiving miracle, Rowan even ate the chicken!
Yummy... yummy... yummy!
Miles nursed through part of dinner, threw up on me and then promptly fell asleep, leaving me to enjoy my meal. (I only dribbled a few drops of gravy on his sleeper.)
After dinner, I snuggled with the boys while Kyle cleaned up.
Then we had some apple crisp with whipped cream for dessert.
And finally, Kyle got some time to watch football, snuggle with Miles and rest.It certainly wasn't what we had planned, but it was a lovely Thanksgiving! I couldn't ask for three sweeter guys to spend my day with.
Happy Thanksgiving!
