Today was a nearly perfect day. This was the first Thanksgiving in recent memory that wasn't a "stress fest." Grandma Robinson came to town and is resting in comfort in front of the TV.
The turkey was, I must say, perfect. Thank you Butterball. (learned a secret from my Mom, cook with the breast down for the first 2/3rds of the roasting time then flip and cook breast up to brown.) I really mean it was PERFECT. Zann made roles and pies that we will be enjoying through tomorrow. They are certain to be gone after that. Mom (Grandma) made Grandma Great's stuffing. I made the turkey and the mashed potatoes.
Somehow, I managed a nap after turkey. I cannot remember the last time I took a nap mid-day.
Today is also a special day in the family, it is Nick's birthday. He turned 7 today. We made him a private space in the top bunk. He is into Spy Gear, so we made him a spy space with black sheets, drapes and lots of spy stuff. Along with his DS and new projecting clock radio. He was thrilled. I post some links to pictures later.
I cannot believe it, but Zann is going out on Black Friday. She is getting up at 4 AM to get the goodies. It is nice to have the big stuff out of the way already. I cannot go into particulars as Zann reads her own blog. It has been much less stressful as we have been planning for Christmas for some time. Not to mention, we decided to pull back on gifts in light of the babies coming not to mention the economic conditions.
Hope you and yours had a great Holiday.
