Hello all! I have been away for a bit. We were in Wisconsin to visit Peter and his family for the holiday. The twins were great in the car... really great. Snacks and videos are key to happy children. Thanksgiving day was busy with rowdy kids and plenty of side dishes. Peter had a master plan of deep frying the turkey. Well, the fryer never really took off... so we were without a cooked bird. We enjoyed our plethera of side dishes though... some of the best side dishes I have ever had on Thanksgiving day. Leslie, really outdid herself with all of the planning. We had a delicious kale salad and a sweet potato/cauliflower gratin and roasted brussell sprouts. We had the usual mashed potatoes and stuffing (my personal favorite). Peter cooked the turkey later that night and we had sammies throughout the weekend.
However, the kids had a blast together. The adults had some great conversations and plenty of laughs.

Thanksgiving 2011: no Turkey and the Wisconsin flu bug.
But really, it's so much more than that. It's a holiday just like it should be... spent with loved ones, making memories, not perfect, but a lot of fun and well worth the trip.
