Thanksgivng day was such a nice quiet day with just the 4 of us. We knew that Andrew would be returning from TDY likely the day before so we made NO PLANS. Need to remember that for the future. We have such precious few times, especially holidays, with just the 4 of us.
One of the few times we eat in the dining room. Andrew and I used our Wedding china and Michael and Mary Ellen their special prayer plates.
I tried one of my first Pinterest ideas...muffin tin mini pies...cherry and apple. They turned out cute and yummy but I filled them too much so it spilled over in the oven. A smoking oven is no fun when you have a day full of cooking ahead of you.
I made our favorite side dishes; green bean casserole, hashbrown casserole, corn pudding, cranberry relish, dressing and giblet gravy and frosted lime salad. With a baked turkey of course! Lots of food, but Papa and Mama Jo arrived later that night and we managed to finish everything off by the end of the weekend.
Michael and Mary Ellen's favorite dessert was the chocolate trifle...YUM!
The most favorite fun of the day was when Daddy made a tent in M&M's room. I think they could have stayed in there all day! Mary Ellen drew on her magna-doodle and Michael read books and they both played, played, played! What a great Daddy!!
