Happy Thanksgiving to my blog friends in the US!

Today was Thanksgiving AND L’s seventh birthday!

Some highlights from today…

R was up earlier than anyone and came downstairs. I came down shortly after and then L. The birthday girl opened her gifts while I had coffee. The kids then wanted to make potions (one of L’s gifts) so I supervised that for a while. They then moved onto the science kit.

T started cooking at around 10am and realized he forgot to get stuffing when he went shopping for Thanksgiving. I wanted to get out of the house so I volunteered to drive to the store and pick up stuffing. It was cold and rainy. The store was HOPPING with people like me that were picking up a few last minute things.

The kids wanted to watch Star Wars (okay), and I sat for a bit in my office, looking at lodging options for Paris.

At around 1pm, everything was ready, and we sat down to eat. We had two of our close friends join us today. It was lovely.

After dinner, T spent some time with our friends while I slowly started cleaning the kitchen. T is a very good cook, and he enjoys cooking, while I wouldn’t even know how to make a full Thanksgiving meal. He takes care of everything. So I don’t mind cleaning afterwards.

After we cleaned up, we did cake for L: dimmed the lights and sang to her! My “baby” is seven!
