Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is such a great holiday... eating way too much food, watching football on TV, resting in a comatose state on the couch, flipping through the Black Friday ads, spending time with loved ones... need I say more?!  This year we were able to spend Thanksgiving with the Pooleys.

Nana sported a new apron this year for cooking the Thanksgiving dinner. The girls developed a plan with Nana a couple of weeks ago to bring their own aprons over today to help her cook! They were jazzed about this plan!

Bad news hit us about a block from the Pooley's house this morning - I planned ahead and packed the camera, but forgot the... aprons! Ugh!!  To say the least, the girls were disappointed. Not wanting to disappoint them, Ryan and I dropped the girls off and headed to one of the only stores open today to pick up some replacements. Much to my dismay, the store did not have any aprons!  Surprise, surprise!

We improvised and turned some table runners into kid sized aprons!! Here they are sporting their aprons...

Not surprising... the girls did not like them!  While they were the best looking things, I was proud of my accomplishments in such a short amount of time. One will remember to bring the aprons next year!

Despite the apron debacle, today was a great day - spending time with the ones we love, sharing great food and great conversation, and reflecting on everything important in our lives!  

Happy Thanksgiving!
