Thanksgiving

We celebrated Thanksgiving as a family, and were so grateful to have each other and our cozy home and so much delicious food. I shopped on Tuesday (Coquine came through with amazing gravy, stock, rolls, and fresh chestnuts!); baked on Wednesday (apple pie and cranberry bread); and then the whole family collaborated on the turkey dinner. Seb helped make the mashed potatoes; Liesl made cranberry sauce, set the table, and helped with the potatoes, brussels sprouts, and carrots; Steve cooked the turkey and made some terrific stuffing. We had so much food and it was all delicious.

The turkey trot at the Zoo - the 4-mile run we've done the last 2-3 years - was obviously cancelled, so we went out this morning on our own family trot. Seb and Steve ran our usual trail loop, 3.5 miles of very hilly hills. Liesl and I ran down to the pond, looped around, and came back uphill to the school field - 2 miles.

 

I think we had enough food.
