Thanksgiving
There's really not many pictures for the holiday this year. Paul worked Thanksgiving Day, so we had our big meal on Wednesday.
I did a new turkey cooking method this year. It involved throwing some veggies in the cavity, pouring in 2 cups of boiling water, putting the lid on, and parking it in a HOT oven. After an hour, you turn the oven off, but you don't touch it. I was a little nervous the closer we got to the meal, so I turned the oven on low when I was in there doing the final cooking. The finished turkey meat was falling off the bones, but it was a little dry.
Excuse the traffic cone colored cups. With a broken dishwasher, I took pity on Jack and used paper plates, cups, and cutlery for the meal and the dessert session a couple hours later.
Sam is going to school in southern California, so he made the drive up for Thanksgiving. Miss M took a family picture for us.
And I returned the favor by getting several shots of them. This is what happens when I tell Josiah, "Drop your chin a little."

How fun to get at least 5 of your precious crew together! I just realized that this year is our last Christmas as a complete family for the foreseeable future. I'm about to enter your world of making the most of who can be around!
ReplyDeleteYou know, it's odd, I think that I struggle more with missing them now than I did when they first started leaving. When Zach left home, it was just a few months before we traveled for Hannah, so I had that to distract me. When Annaliese left home, we'd just brought home Katie. These days, when there are just a few stragglers left in the house, and no little people keeping me busy, I feel the emptiness a lot more.
