Thanksgiving 11.c

Today we essentially had our third Thanksgiving meal of the month, and by our count number three of five total this November. No complaints here: that's the sort of food I can get used to! On the other hand, it does seem to be an awful lot of food.

Let me elaborate:

Thanksgiving 11.a - A church staff meal earlier on this month.

Thanksgiving 11.b - Our annual Wisdom Club meal a few Fridays ago.

Thanksgiving 11.c - That was today - over at Ye-Ye and Nana's house.

Thanksgiving 11.d - That's Tuesday at the KidPak office.

Thanksgiving 11.e - That's Thursday, and the real deal.

Each of these features lots of food: turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, peas, cranberry sauce, and more. So it's like we're having a Thanksgiving meal over and over again!

But back to Thanksgiving 11.c, which was today: Nana called last night and invited us to a spontaneous Thanksgiving meal. It happens that Aunt Shain and her family are going to Florida this week, so the thought was that they would have a Thanksgiving meal at Ye-Ye and Nana's house. That's when Nana thought to call us up next and give us an invitation as well. How could we resist!? We went over and they had a wonderful meal set up - it was absolutely perfect. But beyond the food, it's always pleasant to go over and be with the family. We had a good time catching up on recent events, and even planning ahead for Christmas a bit too.

Earlier this morning, as we're still technically "on vacation," we did something unusual: we went to church. Sure, that's where we are all the time. But this time, we sat right in the middle of the audience in our main sanctuary and enjoyed a service without having to worry about any responsibility at all. The last time something like that happened, where both Mommy and Daddy could sit on a Sunday service was... beyond my memory, actually. It was more than six years ago, that's for sure. Anyway, it was nice to sit with Mommy in a service. The theme: Thanksgiving, of course!
