Another weekend, another smiley face breakfast.
Brooke didn't want to travel to her family's Thanksgiving for just the weekend. We'd be there in a couple of weeks for a wedding and then back for Christmas.
Yeah, I wasn't in the mood to be driving back and forth every 2 weeks. I hate driving in the winter as it is. On Thanksgiving morning, Theo and I went grocery shopping for our dinner.
Thanksgiving is also not really my thing. There's a reason you only eat this meal once a year. Since it was just us, we could make whatever we wanted. That meant for dessert we could have pavlova.
And challah instead of rolls.
The kiddos played the Game of Life while we cooked. Arguably the best board game ever.
Theo was excited for not-so-traditional Thanksgiving.
We decided on ham. (I got one from work). Meadow wanted baked potatoes. So I made sweet potatoes as well. And brussels sprouts of course. Like any good millennial would.
Kitty wanted in on our dinner too.
Theo decorated the pavlova.
I doubted the pavlova, but it was really, really good.
I think I may have under whipped the whipped cream because once we added the fruit it spread like lava.
Everyones favorite, Japanese pancakes for breakfast.
The house always feels so cozy during the holidays.
Winter has arrived.
Just in time to freeze the backyard rink.
Sometimes these two aren't fighting. Drawing together in Meadow's dark room just makes you so thankful for the little family you have.
And it was finally time to fill up the rink.
With two hoses it takes us about 17-18 hours to fill up.
Thankfully our renter downstairs is a hockey player, so she isn't mad when the water becomes a trickle for a day. Can't wait to be skating with the kiddos.
