Our Thanksgiving Day was yesterday and while we tend to do the same thing every year (it's tradition! the kids will remind us) they grow every year so it's also different.
This year Adelaide made the pies. She spent Tuesday night with us so she could be here to make the pies and then Elizabeth joined us to decorate the tree and spend Wednesday night, too. It's tradition! Except this time I didn't do the baking.
Our daughter rose at 5:00 a.m. to put the 28 pound turkey in the oven. It's a biggie, and I brought three extra legs because we have leg people in the family and turkeys only come with two.
I wish you could have been there to help with the dishes. So did Adelaide and Ceci, but they washed and dried them all while singing the songs of Hamilton. The boys cleared and I put the dishes away as that pile grew.
And here they are, all grown up but still fit on the couch. We all had such a good time! More to follow.
