Thanksgiving Day

We had a lovely Thanksgiving day.  We started off with a beautiful walk to our friends' home--Amanda, Mike, and Claire--where we had the most yummy breakfast of pumpkin pancakes and fresh-squeezed orange juice (and bacon, of course!).  We were also joined by our good friends, Amanda and Mae.  Claire and Mae sat contentedly enjoying their food, while Keegan vied for the seat Mae sat in, only to quickly abandon it and then demand it back again once Mae returned to it.  Needless to say, Mama did not enjoy much adult conversation.  But I was happy to be amongst such good friends while marveling in the toddler play, as Mae presented grand conversations, Claire confidently exhibited just about all the toys in her room, and Keegan danced and jumped to the music of the Macy's Day parade (that boy does love to dance!).  Keegan's fusiness told us it was time to head home, but not before saying hello to the chickens in the backyard.  Keegan, of course, wanted to "touch'em"; Mae, on the other hand was not so sure.  We had lovely weather for the walk home and then Keegan slept for a few hours while Mommy made Thanksgiving dinner: roast chicken (I didn't like the looks of the turkeys in the grocery store!), sweet potatoes, green beans and kale, mashed potatoes, and cornbread--all quite yummy!  Keegan's favorite was the sweet potatoes, and the kale came in a close second; that's my boy!  What a beautiful day with much to be thankful for!
