Thankful

There really is no end to what I'm thankful for this year! It has been a crazy year to say the least, but now we are "settled" into our new life here in the burbs. This Thanksgiving we had a yummy dinner prepared by moi with help from the kids. Bren is great in the kitchen but our Annie has her own ideas about how things should go and it isn't always easy. While making homemade whip cream, I actually shocked myself!! Really! I plugged in the kitchen maid mixer and touched the metal top, and the world hummed for a couple of seconds. After a few panic stricken minutes, I texted Heather to make sure I hadn't damaged myself. My lovely sister said I'd survive and that I'm really a slow learner in the kitchen! Yeah, well what's new?!

My good friend Gina (neighbor from Southie) came over with her 3 year old, Chloe. She brought the most delicious apple pie and pink cheese cake for the girls. After a nice meal with actual adult conversation. I threw (not really) all the kids in the bath...Bren first (he's got a thing about being naked with others around, so not like the past) and then the girls. All got into jammies and settled down to watch Black Beauty while Gina and I headed out (by ourselves) to see a movie. I'm pretty embarrassed to say what we saw, so I won't. All in all, a fabulous day!
