Thanksgiving day brought some nasty weather our way. A little too much cold and ice for my liking so we decided not to get the babies out and drive the streets in our van to the home we’d been invited to. We stayed put but without a Thanksgiving meal prepared.
Not a problem for this Mama! I had joked about serving popcorn, jelly beans and toast a la Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving. I considered seriously afterward. The babies got pretty excited but I pulled one even better.
A feast of Hot dogs, MacNChee and Fruit Salad…and crying kids. I think Phil and I had a gourmet frozen pizza after the kids were in bed. Such glam.
Esther was pretty pleased with herself as she continually acted out Peppermint Patty:
“What kind of Thanksgiving dinner is this? Where’s the turkey, Chuck? Don’t you know anything about Thanksgiving dinners? Where’s the mashed potatoes? Where’s the cranberry sauce? Where’s the pumpkin pie?”
Martha spent her first Thanksgiving watching everyone eat.
Later that night our friends sent some of the meal we missed over to our house along with some fun treats for the babies.
My turkey was on the defrost so there would still be a Thanksgiving feast for the Hales, don’t worry. There would even be mashed potatoes.
Hilarious.
You are so funny! I love the peppermint patty reference!
Those cupcakes our hysterical! I love them!
Our Thanksgiving day dinner consisted of “find your own” leftovers and a leftover bag of Fritos after my FIL misread the time that his favorite pizza place closed! We had our official turkey dinner on Friday so nobody missed out, but it was tense there for a bit! 🙂 Now it’s a good laugh since everyone got fed anyway.
Looks like you had fun in spite of the weather!
