This year's Thanksgiving feast had all the classics, but it really came down to the desserts. Whitney brought her fancy schmancy apple peeler (she always has the best gadgets!) and made some amazing applesauce.
I pulled out the old family recipe of Death by Chocolate and made it into a trifle.
The Cousin's Play has gotten to be a THING, let me tell you! Piper wrote one called Wisdom Bird years ago when we visited them in Maryland. Then she adapted it to Wisdom Turkey for another Thanksgiving. Now it doesn't feel like Thanksgiving if the kids don't put on some kind of play for the grownups. Piper worked on it weeks before even getting here.
It was based on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Story.
There's Ireland in a cloak playing the ghost of Thanksgiving past.
Taking their bows
Bravo!
The day after Thanksgiving found us at Pump It Up so the kids could get some energy out. Somehow knocking each other down on the slides became a thing...
Poor Rockwell, I think he likes to keep to himself and Brigitta is just all about showering him with love.
This video sums them up perfectly- as she drags him down the slide with her!
The older cousins were really good sports about this place even though it's a little on the young side for their interests.
Everything is more fun when cousins are around!
We stopped by Portillos for lunch and per usual, the place was packed!
Thanksgiving leftovers are great but a change of pace is nice too.
