Happy Thanksgiving
November 25, 2004 on 9:48 pm | In Main |After I wrestled the bird into the oven, I took Sean and Ethan for a walk over to the park. Sean and Ethan had fun playing together, and we stayed at the playground for about an hour. We had to leave the playground when Sean and Ethan started throwing sand at each other, but rather than go home, we took a nice walk.
The turkey finished cooking earlier than we expected, but that allowed us to serve the meal on time. In addition to the turkey, I made the stuffing, the gravy, and the cranberry sauce. Cortney made sweet potato casserole, corn, and rolls. I thought the meal came together nicely, and Cortney, Laura and I enjoyed it. I put a bit of each of the foods on Sean and Ethan’s plates, but they only ate the roll, although Ethan at least tried the turkey and sweet potato.
Before dinner, I had everybody go around the table and say what they were thankful for. Ethan kind of got the idea, and said “Thank you”. I was expecting the unexpected from Sean, but I was still unprepared for him being thankful for “making a trip to Florida”. Of course, I’m thankful for a wonderful wife, two terrific boys, and successful opportunities at work.
After the meal, we put Ethan down for the nap. I could tell Sean was tired and needed a nap, but he did not want to sleep, so he was cranky all afternoon. I had my appetite fully satiated, but had no motivation to do much else today. I guess that’s the way Thanksgiving Day should be.
