I expected to be stuffed just like the bird, and to waddle a bit, again, like the bird, and given our guests I expected to have hilarity and fun...what I didn't expect was after we had all feasted like it was our last meal, our dear friend suggested we go around the table to say what we were most thankful for...and it was sweet and wonderful and truly put the Thanks in Thanksgiving! (The mister even participated...he said he was thankful for "all of us doing okay in a bad economy...and not having to live under a bridge"...he's such a romantic!)
As we were eating I forced everyone to read one page from my little book, The Story of Thanksgiving, it's tradition so they could hardly refuse. I had planned for my turkey hats to be awarded to the person who ate the most...but it would have been a 12-way tie! Our bird was too big for the roaster, we seem to have this problem every year, so I sent the mister out to find a rock to hold the lid down...he returned with my "Yellowstone" rock...the one I stole from the national park before I knew it was illegal...and then he duct-taped it to the lid. He was very proud of himself.
So another Thanksgiving under my belt...and I do mean under my belt...and above and below! And now onto Christmas! But before I burp my Tupperware on Thanksgiving, I have to announce the winner of my Country Crock giveaway!
MONICA S. who said, "I would love to win! We bought those Pottery Barn placemats last year for our kids but now I'm expecting so we need one more!)
Congratulations Monica on the win AND the baby! I'll email you to get your address! Thanks everyone!
Happy shopping everyone!
