How was your Thanksgiving? The four of us had a very enjoyable day. It was nice to have Troy all to ourselves, and that made the it special. This was the first time I had cooked the entire Thanksgiving meal by myself. I am assuming it was fine; I received a lot of compliments. Our menu included ham, baked mac/cheese, okra, apple salad, cottage cheese and homemade rolls. We went with ham since Ethan does not care for turkey, and I cannot bear to touch a big, dead, cold, slippery bird!

Between Thursday and Friday, we have said "good bye" to all the little pumpkins, leaves, garlands, scarecrows and Seth's artwork that graced our home this season.
