Our Thanksgiving break was just what we needed - relaxing, restful, productive and fun. We spent a lot of time at home in our comfy clothes playing and baking. Got to see family and friends. And were so thankful to have five days at home together.
We ordered Parlor Donuts to be delivered to our door. Yum! Do you have Parlor? We love their lemon, cinnamon roll and carnival donuts.
Remember when Find Mom. Sit on Mom was a daily thing?? It rarely happens anymore so I'm extra thankful when Leo wants to snuggle.
The weather was beautiful enough for some kite flying. It was chilly so everyone is bundled up, but we'll take any day that's nice enough to play outside at this point in the year.
I baked a lot of Monster Cookies and pies.
I said yes to things I'd normally say no to - like making Ooblek. Cornstarch ant water. The big kids were thrilled. They are also pretty good at helping clean up their own messes these days.
I cooked a mini Thanksgiving feast just for us on Thanksgiving Eve.
Leo learned a new trick - folding towels. They're a little messy, but he is so thrilled to have learned a new skill. Enjoy my wonky towel drawer. I'm so thankful for the team work with household jobs.
Slow mornings and quiet evenings. I'm thankful for the time to move at our own pace. That meant extra time to play after baths.
My pies turned out perfectly! Minus the fact that I slightly burned one pie and somehow misplaced two pie plates during the year. I made it work and ended up with some lovely pies.
We made turkey cinnamon rolls.
Texted Thanksgiving messages.
I was happy to not be hosting. It was nice to just show up for friends and family with desserts.
We celebrated lunch with Kevin's family and dinner with my family.
We got turkey dinners for the cats. Pumpkin's first Thanksgiving was a blast.
Fletcher learned how to make his own PSL at home.
Mr. Mittens isn't the snuggliest cat, but since getting Pumpkin, we're seeing his more loving side come out. He joined me for a cat nap which was lovely.
Gobble Gobble! Pumpkin's first Thanksgiving was a good one! He looked so handsome in his turkey hat. The other cats were not as amused.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
