Here’s how we picked out our Christmas tree this year. Emily typically joins us so this time she hopped on a Zoom meeting as we all browsed Home Depot’s website. It was actually pretty nice — we didn’t have to deal with the usual bad weather or trying to stuff a tree in our car. Plus free shipping!
Happy Thanksgiving!
COVID kept us on our own for Thanksgiving this year. We did a pajama day while cooking — I made dessert and apps while Justin handled the main meal. I tried to find a frozen version of Aunt Maureen’s specialty appetizer but it was not the same! The pie was not like Grandma’s either — somehow I managed to both undercook and overcook it at the same time. And what a mess I made spilling it all over the oven!
Beckham tried his very first solid food during dinner. I figured Thanksgiving would be a perfect time for that! The flavor? Pumpkin, of course! He kept grabbing the spoon from me, already wanting to feed himself.
Emily and my parents stopped by and dropped off tons of goodies as they went around the suburbs delivering food to everyone. Later in the evening we did a Sullivan family Zoom meeting.
And just how all good Thanksgiving meals should end, Jackson (and Luc) passed out on the couch.
