Thanksgiving 2009

Christopher was at the orthodontist a few weeks back (and what does that have to do with Thanksgiving you may ask) and he noticed that his tonsils were INCREDIBLY HUGE. We have known this for some time now, but they have never caused him problems. They were however causing his jaw and teeth to form a bit oddly on the bottom. So, for Thanksgiving this year, Christopher had his tonsils and adnoids pulled. All went well, but he is still on the road to recovery. Hence, we did not travel anywhere this year for the Holiday.

Instead of the traditional bird (AKA turkey) we decided to grill steaks! Ah. It was wonderful! Though I did miss the stuffing. Glenn missed the yams. Zach DID NOT MISS the gravy, for he claims it soaks everything! But Zach did miss the cranberry sauce. Nick was happy with steamed beans and rolls. Emma loved the steak and the rolls. She also helped me with the sugar cookies.



In the late afternoon we had friends over for dessert. We still had the traditional pumpkin pie. We also had cherry pie and apple cobbler. There were sugar cookies to decorate too.

Though we missed family and the Turkey Trot... we are very Thankful to be healthy and together. Happy Thanksgiving to you.
