Thanksgiving

This year we celebrated our first Thanksgiving without any other family, it was just the 4 of us. At first I was sad because it would just be us but it was awesome! No one to impress and no arguments and no expectations of others. We could do whatever we wanted when we wanted. It was great! We planned to have a duck since we don't like turkey.

The day before Thanksgiving we planned to make our desserts. Daniel helped me make pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. I was worried because cookies I make don't usually turn out well. These were amazing though! They were so fluffy...like eating clouds. Dan was a pretty good helper too. My dad said it reminded him of when I would help him make cookies.









One of our Thanksgiving traditions is to do a huff and puff before we stuff. This was Liam's first Thanksgiving so it was fun to go as a family of 4. It was a little cold but we got all bundled up and then walked around our apartment complex with a couple different people who we kept going past.






We don't like turkey in our house so we did a duck this year! It was delicious! Mike did a great job. We had some of the other traditional things and we also had lots of pie! Daniel did really well with dinner which surprised me. He loved the duck and of course loved the rolls.






We had a wonderfully relaxing Thanksgiving. We had fun talking about what we're thankful for. Dan is thankful for mom, daddy and teddy :)
