All the thankfulness of each previous year, but we did it differently this year. Amy, Ella, and Grace all headed east to visit extended family; leaving on Tuesday night to make early flights and ultimately getting delayed by a winter storm for an extra night in Baltimore. They made the best of the extended stay and found a Christmas market to tour, shop, and laugh. Merrick, Sophia, and I all had a large thanksgiving day breakfast...we also all decided that is sort of the best way to do it. Breakfast food is always great, and we had pork served three different ways, you aren't full from previous houses you had to visit and the dishes clean up is quick. Sophia even left me a pie, but to be fair she needed most everything I had on hand to make it. It was ultimately delicious even though she arrived with frozen apples. We just left them in the oven longer and it might be my new preferred way to back them. 400 for about an hour and then shut the oven down and leave the pies to continue to back, caramelize, and get a nice crispy crust. The rest of the week was pretty quite although Sophia and her boyfriend did stop back Friday to play cards and laugh well past midnight. Again so much to be thankful for including rested and ready to return to work.
