Well Thanksgiving this year was simply the four of us. It felt a little lonely to be just us on a big extended family holiday but it was still great. We woke up in the morning and had a nice little breakfast and then we all watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade together. Have you ever watched the entire Thanksgiving Day Parade before? Growing up I only ever saw bits and pieces of it while helping cooking or what not but this year we watched the whole thing from beginning to end and it was really fun. Katie got super excited when Santa came on and I must say he was a very very good Santa he looked like the real thing! We then put our Turkey breast in the oven and went on a walk. We decided not to make an entire turkey for two adults and a kid who would eat three bites, so we made a turkey breast. Then Stephen and I made only our favorite Thanksgiving foods which were: Jello pretzel salad, mashed potatoes, gravy, green bean casserole, rolls (although those we bought), and of course the turkey. We had a chocolate pie and sparkling cider (tickle juice according to Katie). That was our small little Thanksgiving dinner. It wasn't much but we had a great day. After dinner we looked through the ads for black Friday deals and decided to set up our Christmas tree. We loved spending the day together but we did miss our families.
Here is Annie eating her Thanksgiving dinner of sweet potatoes!
Katie helped me set the table and then she added the food. She thought this looked like a good Thanksgiving meal to her! Notice how her plate has two grapes and Stephen and I only had one each! Plus I guess we were going to share a tangerine. I am thankful that this was not our real meal!

This is where I was planning on posting the pictures of our table set with all of our yummy food but I guess I didn't take any pictures of the actual food...ooops! We had a great day and we are so very blessed and very thankful for all that we have especially for our good health and our beautiful girls. Happy Turkey Day!

What a fun day! I love the picture of Annie she is a doll! Katie is always such a cutie, and so smart!
I love the "tickle Juice. Kids descriptions of things are the best. I think that there is something really fun about being able to have a low stress holiday with just your immediate family. Looks fun. :)
