Happy thanksgiving weekend- black friday-almost December!

Last weekend our town had a Christmas tree lighting event with Santa! we went just at the right time to see Santa come out on the balcony and spread magic to light the tree.

I never raised my kids to believe in Santa but I’ll tell you a funny story from when I was a kid.

When I was little we’d spend Christmas at my grandmother’s house, my aunt had a boyfriend with her (or maybe a husband, I don’t remember) anyways, the guy left after dinner to do something in the garage and 5 min later Santa came! I got to sit in his lap and show him my pretty dress and I got presents etc… when it was over Santa left and 5 min later the guy came back and I was SO DISTRAUGHT that he missed Santa!! if he had only been there 5 min earlier, he would have seen Santa!! everyone tried to shoo me away or distract me….ha ha

This thanksgiving it was just the 6 of us, it was nice and relaxing and I delegated this year, each kid was in charge of their own side dish!

Dan and I made the turkey in the oven- we used to have a Ronco rotisserie oven but it died last year and Dan tried to change the power cord but it didn’t fix it…Bjorn made green bean casserole, Solveig made Sweet potato casserole, Sonja made cranberry sauce, Anja and I made corn bread, I made a pecan pie and Dan made an apple pie.

Bjorn had also bought a really good Prime Ribeye or some sort of steak which he cooked up and we all had a few bites, it was delicious!

And this year we got an organic turkey from Costco (a hen I think- at least it was on the HEN side of the cooler) it was probably our best turkey yet!

Overall a good, no stress, Thanksgiving!

 

Dan has been trying to tweak the censor on my long arm so I’m trying to play catch-up on tops to be quilted, I really want an APQS but with automation it’s like the price of a new car! I just can’t justify it yet just because I’m picky about my stitches.
