Happy home Thanksgiving!

Just about every year for Thanksgiving, sashagee and I head out for our parents' houses for Thanksgiving, usually doing dinner at one and lunch at the other's the next day, but this year was different. To help give sashagee time to clean the house and get some chores done, Laila went out to the grandparents last Saturday and stayed there until Friday afternoon, when all the grandparents assembled at our home for our first family hosted Thanksgiving!

It went very well. My parents still had a dinner with Laila, with turkey and their traditional sides--rolls, potatoes, A Vegetable, and jello--and they brought the turkey, stuffing, and jello with them when they came. sashagee's parents brought two pies, one pumpkin and one apple. sashagee made steamed broccoli, honey-glazed carrots, and whipped feta pumpkin dip. We sat as many people as would fit around our table, my parents sat on the couch with tv trays in front of them, and we ate a delicious meal. Except Laila, but you know, she's a four-year-old so when she only ate some bread and a bit of carrot and then said she was done, well, that's just being a four-year-old. It's no comment on the actual food.

Everyone told sashagee that they had a great time and maybe we'll be doing it next year. And I'm not surprised, honestly, since we did all the cleaning and prep work. And sashagee got to be hostess! Just hopefully next year Laila will eat dinner.
