We had a very nice Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Bill had to work in the afternoon, but we managed to have a little holiday gathering in the morning. We had my dad, sister, and grandparents over for a breakfast of pumpkin pancakes and to watch the Macy's parade. In the afternoon, we went to my mom and Doug's house to have a more traditional meal.
Then yesterday, I experienced my first ever Black Friday shopping. I have come to the conclusion that people are crazy. And unfortunately I'm one of them. I found myself lined up at Target with a couple of hundred other people in 40 degree weather at 5:45 in the morning. If that's not insanity, I don't know what is. We have been on a quest for a particular hard to find gift for the kids, and I thought that by going before the crack of dawn, I could secure said item. Apparently, I wasn't the only one with this plan.
Later, after some time decompressing and a good nap, we had a Thanksgiving re-do. I made all of our favorite traditional foods and we managed to have a good meal that included Bill (who was working from home). The highlight of the meal was the pecan pie that Avery made. Mmmmmm!

The pumpkin pancakes were GREAT. The Pecan pie was incredible. It was a great day, even if I worked for half of it.
p.s. - I actually enjoyed the rabbit-ear style parade veiwing of our non-cable tv - with it's snow and static. Even if only Carolyn and I were interested. It felt a little more old-times holiday-ish.
