It was a very non-traditional Thanksgiving for our family this year. First, we held our Thanksgiving at Grandma Jane’s. I couldn't remember the last time that we had celebrated a holiday meal in their home. The second change was lasagna for our main dish. We had tried it many years ago, but Brett really liked turkey so Doug decided to stick with the traditional feast until this Thanksgiving. Along with the pasta dish he added Caesar salad, corn, garlic bread and green bean casserole to the menu. Those went very well with Grandma Jane’s desserts, making for the perfect meal. Plus, Doug did put turkey sausage in the lasagna, so no one could really complain about missing their holiday bird.
Although, I helped plan the menu and did the shopping for today, I really didn’t care what we ate. I was just extremely happy that we were all together. Meg and Nick were able to spend time with us before heading to the Yoder family Thanksgiving and we all enjoyed several games before they left. Cal and Cameron watched the Lions vs. Bears football game which was an exciting match up for our family. Everyone also got to open their Christmas gifts from Grandma and Grandpa as well. Overall, it was a wonderful day and I was incredibly thankful when Brett called on his way back to Bloomington to let me know how much he loves being a part of our family. I know that everyone else feels the same way and I felt incredibly blessed at the end of the day.
