As we welcome the new year, it is also a good time to cherish great memories. I am therefore doing a couple of lists of memories (in somewhat chronological order) for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Here is the list for Thanksgiving. Enjoy!
- Getting dinner plates for Thanksgiving. To prepare for the large party coming in town, Hubby and I went to the store and looked at every single available
pattern there. We each liked different patterns but eventually settled on this one
(with a flower on it! - Thanks, Babe :). It was quite fun and felt like we were
doing our wedding registry again! :)
- Hosting 20 family members (Hubby and I included)! I think it was a record.
- Making pumpkin bread!
- Having plenty of food for everyone. I forgot to make mashed potatoes and our microwave stopped working, but in the end, we even had leftovers and we had a back-up microwave so all was well.
- Taking a nap after Thanksgiving dinner.
- Getting our fridge covered with kid art. Through his drawing, middle nephew turned kitty cat into a super hero (complete with cape).
- Getting "shorter" - oldest nephew was officially taller than I was (with oldest niece getting extremely close).
- Watching nephews play tennis, baseball style (imagine the tennis racket as a baseball bat).
- Watching the kiddos (youngest nephews included) watch the Barbie cartoon (!).
- Running the dishwasher eight times in three days.
Wonderful memories. Christmas memories to come. Stay tuned!
