Oh, man, Thanksgiving was fun! We actually had a mostly-non-traditional lunch with Paul and his family. Steak, beans, carrots, potatoes-au-gratin, Texas Roadhouse rolls, apple pie, and a reserved pumpkin pie, where the pumpkin filling is on the bottom and the crust on top (very unusual but delicious). Paul got mad because he overcooked the steak, but it was still delicious. He's so hands-on with cooking. I just bought my rolls from Texas Roadhouse. Haha. And the potatoes-au-gratin were super easy to make. Bam! And I bought the pie from Kneaders. Boom!
I wanted to do more than just eat, so we had photo booth props, a chalk tablecloth to write what we're thankful for on, and we played some Minute-to-win-it games, including:
Find My Pecan: Kai v. Kendall (W)
Shake Your Tail Feathers: Eli v. Kendall (W)
Potato roll: Nathalie v. Leilani (W)
Gobbler Gauntlet: Taylor v. Luke (W)
Turkey Baster Race: Eli v. Taylor (W)
Pluck the Turkey: Kai v. Logan (W)
For dinner, we did the whole traditional thing as a family. We also put away all the Fall/Thanksgiving decorations and put up the Christmas tree. It was a good day.
