The day after Thanksgiving is pretty much the only day of the year when it's perfectly acceptable to eat pie for breakfast. And eat pie we did. Paired with some homemade lattes. It was a pretty sweet morning. We arrived at Patty and AJ's house around 8:30. We had "breakfast," fed the kids a real breakfast, and then we just hung out. Relaxing. Talking. Picking at more pie. Sipping lattes. Talking about summer vacation. Then we all sat down together to usher in the beginning of the most exciting time of the year by watching, How the Grinch Stole Christmas. After that, it was leftovers time. Which is perhaps my most favorite part of the Thanksgiving holiday. The leftovers. It was a glorious meal. I personally prefer my leftovers swimming in gravy.
This evening before dinner, Matt, Adelyn, Tobin, and I bundled up and went walking. It was a beautiful night. And we spotted some signs that the Christmas season has arrived. Christmas lights. It was a pretty exciting walk. And I love walking in the cold.
Thankful for leftovers. Thankful for relaxing mornings. And relaxing afternoons. Followed by relaxing evenings. Thankful for pie for breakfast. Thankful for walks in the cold. Thankful to be able to spend time together as a family. Thankful for a day done well.
