Thanksgiving 2008

It's official. This is the LAST year I cook anything remotely like a Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving. 2 years ago, my step-dad had cardiac arrest, last year my husband was a bit sick, and this year, all 4 of us were sick in one end or another or both!


Now, I know, my step-dad's issue was NOT because I dropped the turkey on the floor and actually put it back in the oven to finish cooking (yes I did, don't laugh, I'm sure you have or will do it at some point!) after I wiped it off. And I'm pretty sure we weren't even home last year, but I really can't remember! Oh...I just remembered. We were in CA! It was a great time with all my family asking if I was sure I was just having one baby (b/c I was PG with Noah!). I guess I blocked it out. LOL. This year was compliments of Noah bringing home the Rotavirus from daycare - he had it the longest and the worst as payback. Poor baby! But still, I'm done!


Emily recovered the quickest and Mike took the longest to get it, but still, I'm done! Here is a picture of how Noah spent Thanksgiving and here is Emily, with the fated last Thanksgiving dinner - before she got sick.


I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and were thankful you weren't at our house!

God Bless!
Gretchen, Mike, Emily, Noah, Nikki, Elsie, and Shakes - only the fur babies were NOT sick!
