So we spent Thanksgiving at home this year.....just me, Matt, and the 4N's. Matt had to go to the grocery store this morning, and Natalie & Nathan tagged along, of course. Nolan and I stayed home (with Nicholas napping) and made some desserts. I just used some of the box desserts I had at the house. We made chocolate chip cookies and a pound cake. I let Nolan do most of the steps by himself....pour in the mix, crack the eggs, add the butter, etc.....we had a really good time, just Mommy and Nolan.
We ate our dinner around 4:00pm. It was earlier than we usually eat, so the kids really didn't eat as much as they should have....but they certainly saved room for dessert! I fixed my mom's broccoli casserole and Teresa's sweet potato casserole. Matt fixed the turkey and some dinner roles. All in all, the dinner turned out quite well, considering it was our first Thanksgiving dinner.
I tried to get the kids to say some things they were thankful for, but it ended up as a typical silly fest. They were thankful for juice, bears, blankets, and what not. But, oh well, I can't expect too much. After Matt and I said that we were thankful for our whole family, the kids followed suit. It was a long day for sure, but enjoyable nonetheless to do it on our own :)
