thanksgiving day

We had a lovely day mostly at home. I got the big folding table out and we set up a new family puzzle for everyone to work on, National Parks. Although Harkin and Issabelle wanted to help, it is a bit hard for them at the moment so we got some other puzzles down and they were happy doing those. All about the US, which was fun. We really did spend the morning on puzzles. Which is now my new favorite tradition.

Then we got spiffed up and went out to a buffet dinner. We tried something new which was fun but will most likely go back to cooking next year. We came home and watched a family movie. Harkin picked it out. Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. He had just recently read the book and I had mentioned there was a movie. He thought it was a good one to watch on Thanksgiving since it was all about food and Thanksgiving is a feast.

It was a laid back day. William said the next day that it was one of his best holidays recently. Everyone was happy and calm all day. We tried to keep that atmosphere up all through the weekend. Relaxing days at home, just hanging out with Daddy, playing games and puzzling!
