Thanksgiving Day was the day after Chris and I arrived home from France. The girls were awesome in grocery shopping prior to our arrival and putting the turkey breast in the fridge on Sunday. Chris and I were up early with our jet lag, so I also started laundry fairly early, tidied the kitchen, and planned out our day.
We had to make a few runs to the grocery store, once to get a newspaper with all of the Black Friday ads, but were pretty much set for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Chris and Misha had a project they were working on for most of the morning and afternoon for our neighbor, Mike. They were installing a security system at his business. So Kristen and Amy were my helpers for the day.
Dinner was fairly low key. We had invited Larry and Christine for dinner, but since we had just arrived home from our trip, they felt it best not to add extra stress.
Kristen set the table and worked to create beautiful napkins. She finally decided on an envelope design, and within each envelope she placed a sweet note to each of her family members. She is always thoughtful like that.
