- Thursday was, of course, Turkey Day. Margi spent much of the day preparing the feast (Anne and I helped some) while the rest of us played on the ice, and cuddled with the animals.
- We took a mid-day break from cooking to watch the WKRP in Cincinnati Turkeys Away episode. I think I had seen it years ago, and it was hysterical to watch the late 70′s stereotypes.
- Emily, Nathan, Anne and I relaxed in the hot tub while flurries fell on our faces. Well, we relaxed as much as two adults can relax while two children are in the tub trying to play…
- Thanksgiving Dinner was a 22 pound turkey and gravy, our favorite New England Sausage, Apple and Dried Cranberry Stuffing, our Famous Sweet Potato Souffle, Margi’s attempt to interest us in brussels sprouts, the Famous Brownfield Cranberry salad, and candied pearl onions. We finished it off with, of course, pumpkin pie.
- After dinner we watched Emily and Nathan’s production of Hansel and Gretel, which they had been occasionally preparing for all week.
- Shortly after the play, Nathan complained that he was hungry, which astonished the adults greatly. Its not all that uncommon for him–eat dinner, play for 30-60 minutes, then claim he’s hungry again. So I fixed another plate of turkey, dressing, sweet potatoes and gravy, which he nearly cleaned up.
- We finished the evening off with A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving, and to officially start the Christmas season, How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
