Thanksgiving 2008

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Okay maybe not wonderful but nice. Nothing too dramatic and really, that was all I was asking for today. To make it out alive so to speak :-) I acted snippy this morning when we got to our destination and immediately regretted it. I can remember every holiday having something negative about it, either a fight or a blowup or some raging from my mother and I hope not to re-create that and yet I almost did this morning. Oh well - Live and Learn I guess. The kids really enjoyed themselves with plenty of running around and attention from everyone and the food was yummy. The one point things could have gotten bad was when our run to Starbucks almost ruined the day. Everyone was waiting on us to get back, never mind it was 15 minutes till noon and the meal was due to be served at noon. With one nasty phone call things were looking downhill but that crisis was avoided since we were back at our destination at 11:57 AM - in time for the noon meal!! The rest of the visit went fine.

Best part of the day - my niece coming home with us to go shopping with me tomorrow. She has never experienced Black Friday so it should be fun to show her all the crazies. I remember seeing someone with a baby last year and thinking how crazy they were for dragging a baby out - guess that'll be me this year since I can't leave Baby J for fear he'll need to eat while I am gone!

Baby J's first Thanksgiving was uneventful. He had Mama's Milk and snoozed the day away. He still has thrush or rather I think it came back so we are battling that again. Any tips would be appreciated!!
