we all piled on the couch in the morning and watched the macy's thanksgiving day parade. ellie didn't have the patience to watch too many balloons get drug down the street, but abbey really enjoyed it. i was actually pretty surprised that she was so attentive for so long. both of the kids were really excited to see santa pulling up the rear, they (especially abbey) are so ready for christmas.
about three quarters of the way through the parade i got up to throw the pies together and get them in the oven. unbeknownst to anyone, ellie also got up three quarters of the way through the parade and got chummy with an orange highlighter. after she had decorated her entire body, she came to show me how pretty she was and relinquish her pen. i was still baking when she did this.
dinner turned out really well. the turkey was amazingly moist, the best my mom has ever made. (great job, mom!) and we all ate more than our fair share of potatoes, stuffing, rolls, green beans, sweet potato casserole (NOT candied yams), and deviled eggs.
oh, and pumpkin pie. don't forget those yummy pumpkin pies i made while ellie was beautifying herself. abbey got a little excited about the pie and stuck her fingers in it. she was so happy with how yummy it turned out that she confessed her crime to congratulate me on making such a delicious pie.
happy thanksgiving, everyone!
