What an amazing time we had at Thanksgiving. We invited our most favorite people here in San Diego, welcomed some cousins from the rainy Northwest, ate some wonderful food, drank some tasty beverages...it was just a perfect day. Brady and I actually feel as if it was our most fun Thanksgiving ever. The sun decided to come out and warm us up for a bit so we were able to eat outside and enjoy our new and improved deck. The kids played with their buddies and cousins allowing Brady and I time to actually chat with our guests. Imagine that!
Wait...what were the kids doing? Oh yeah, that's right. They were destroying the gingerbread house that they made with Brady 3 days before...and could not wait to eat up. Mom, can we have the gingerbread house now? No, on Thanksgiving. Well, is today Thanksgiving? Every day I heard this. They knew they had to wait until all the kids arrived to devour it. It was no surprise to anyone that when Iris arrived at 2:00, out came the house and away the decorations and icing went.
It was also no surprise that when the food was finally done, most of the kids had two bites and declared themselves Full! and moved on to the next activity- which was usually making Max bury them under the piles of pillows on the couch and making each of us "find" the kids- because that crazy Max always loses them on his watch. This usually ends up with the kids laughing hysterically and declaring that they want to do it over and over again.
Ok, can we have Thanksgiving again this week?
