Because of the (s)ickies in our house, we stayed home on Thanksgiving. It was a very quiet day--just the four of us. Tommy wasn't feeling all that bad yet, so he still got up and ran the Turkey Trot--I was so jealous! He finished in the top 5% too, so I was excited for him!!! After the run I cooked my first ever bird, and we dined a "formal" dinner around our table...which was oh, so nice, until about 2.5 seconds into the feast when Connor began spewing his green beans, and Brookie started to re-mash her potatoes with her chubby little fingers. Mmmmmmmmm....a meal fit for....our family, that's for sure! ;)
But I was still proud of my turkey-bird! I used a recipe from W.S., rolling softened butter mixed with turkey herbs into a log, refrigerating, and then, when preparing the turkey, cut the "log" into discs and slid them under the skin. I then filled the bird with apples, onions, and garlic, rubbed it down with olive oil, salt, pepper, and herbs, and added a little white wine to the mix. It ended up being very juicy, and succulent, and we were pleased!!! Yay! ;)
Auntie Teah braved the "infirmary" on Friday, and declared that she didn't care if we had scarlet fever--she was coming over to see us! We love you Auntie Tea! ;) She came bearing gifts, and man oh man, for kiddos who had seen no faces except for mine and Tommy's for a week, they were no less than THRILLED to see Teah's beautiful smiling countenance!
It even SNOWED on Friday morning! It was beautiful, and though it melted quickly, there was time for the kiddos to catch a little fresh air, bundle up, and play outside on the deck for a few minutes, at least! ;) Connor was in seventh-heaven. I still have to get Brooke snow boots for this winter, so all I could find in the closet were a pair of hand-me-downs....which she was not so impressed with. My little diva was stubborn for at least 15 minutes before she finally lamented and let me put the boots on her so she could go out, too! Ha! Auntie Anna, we're pretty sure she might take after you...a little! ;)
Thankfully, Tommy and I felt better by the weekend, so we were able to escape for a little while, and see friends and family. Brad, our Anna's future husband--and his family were in town, too, so it was so wonderful to get to spend time with them. Wow, Anna is going to have so much fun being a part of that family--they are just awesome!
Unfortunately, socializing and talking over the weekend was really hard on the ol' voice, and, I pretty much lost it by Sunday...still waiting to regain it today! But, it was worth it to catch up with wonderful friends, and celebrate the holidays. Bring on December, and we're kicking this flu bug out the door with November! ;)
