Happy Thanksgiving! It was just the three of us this year. I was super excited because Jimmy and I have never spent a holiday on our own. It was really nice. I prepared most of the dinner on Wednesday so I would only have to throw things in the oven and not have quite so many dishes to do. That ended up being really good because Jimmy and I seem to have come down with colds, and I would not have wanted to all of that cooking when I was feeling under the weather.

We spent a good amount of the day walking laps in the driveway with James. He's so close to walking on his own, but he is still a little timid, so we held his hand. We watched the neighbors put up their incredible light show. We watched a little football. And ate some turkey!

For some strange reason James (my Irish son) does not like potatoes (unless in the french fry form). What is up with that?! Anyway, he liked the turkey and the rolls. And while he enjoyed the green beans, they were a little stringy for him, so he didn't get too many.

All in all it was a wonderful day. Happy Thanksgiving to all of those who we couldn't be with this year!
