new traditions
Today marked our first Thanksgiving together, alone. Sure, we've celebrated for the last many years, going to one another's family's Thanksgiving dinners, but today was the first we've made on our own. And what a feast it was!!! The kumara casserole was bubbling with goodness and browned vanilla marshmallows, the mashed potatoes were divine, the homemade stuffing was full of flavor, and my baked corn was super yummy. In lieu of a turkey (only available at Christmas) we opted for a chicken, which I baked rotisserie-style (we have been missing Boston Market) and it was equally as juicy and delicious. We were in a food coma for most of the afternoon, but managed to muster up enough strength to put up our new tree and lights. It was a relaxing holiday full of food and fun!

Hey, your Thanksgiving wasn't much different than ours! Hannah was on antibiotics for whooping cough and quarantined (she didn't end up having it though!) so for the first time we were alone for the holiday. I made a turkey, dressing, potatoes, corn and pumpkin pie. Funny it took 18 years since Jeff and I have been together for us to celebrate Thanksgiving just us. Glad to hear you're doing well!
