The First Thanksgiving

My oldest son's favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. So here we are, Thanksgiving 2013. Our first Thanksgiving as a family. We celebrated differently than I would have thought. We didn't have a huge dinner with lots of friends and family. Instead, we celebrated with just the five of us. We had a pretty good menu:

Turkey - big hit

Mashed potatoes - the kids avoided them like the plague

Stuffing - see mashed potatoes

Cranberries - enjoyable

Rolls - our daughter ate two

Corn - delicious

Sweet potatoes - our sons ate seconds

Sparkling cider - aka apple soda

Cheesecake - YUMMO! 

We had a good meal together, and the kids were excited, and it was a great time to reflect on how thankful we are to have them in our lives.
