I am exhausted! My whirlwind started yesterday with a day-long visit to Sarah's class. They were having a feast and I volunteered to help out. Nicholas tracked off on Tuesday, so I brought him with me. He was glad to see his old kindergarten teacher, as well as some old friends and other teachers. Times like this, I wish we could afford to send both of them to Merryhill for all of elementary school, but tuition is steep and it's barely manageable to send Sarah just for kinder... Anyway, some of the other parents in Sarah's class had gotten a look at Sarah's fairy photo and asked if I could take a pic of their daughters in tutus and photoshop in the wings and fairy dust... so I trooped out to the playground with camera in hand, and a multitude of 5 year olds... I will post later this weekend when I am done attempting them.
Today was our annual Thanksgiving dinner. As has been the tradition the last 5 years, we hosted at our house. We fried 2 turkeys, and then I did the stuffing and mashed potatoes and corn. I tried a couple of new recipes this year -- nope, I totally forgot to photograph them.... but they were yummy. First, I tried a corn casserole recipe that is super easy and only 6 ingredients -- it tastes just like the corn tomalito from Chevy's!! Yum! And then on the stuffing, I added apples and sausage to the boxed Stove Top... nothing original but I thought it added a nice flavor. Here is a shot of the table right before we sat down...
This was our biggest crowd yet -- I think we were at 16 people... I ran out of places for people to sit, but luckily, the boys wanted to watch football so they took their plates into the family room and vegged on the couch. Here is the family all together.
