This year was our first Thanksgiving as a family! Hubby and I stayed home with LB. I made a turkey breast- no sense in having a huge turkey for just the two of us! I also made some stuffing, green beans, cranberry sauce, rolls, and a chocolate cream pie. The pie was a little rich. I'm going to post the recipe anyway.
Fortunately, Hubby had the entire day off. He had to go in to work today, but showed up at home around 10am! We braved the crowds at ToysRUs, and got LB a bunch of Christmas presents. I've never done the Black Friday thing- too many crowds, too many people being bitchy to get what they want, ugh. No thanks. It was crowded at ToysRUs, but the employees were moving everyone through the checkouts so fast that it didn't seem bad.
When Hubby and I got home, he went to the gym, and I baked sugar cookies for the bake sale tomorrow (for the FRG). After all that was done, we put LB to bed and put up the Christmas tree. :) We had to buy a huge gate to put around it, so LB wouldn't knock of ornaments, or break ornaments, or (worse) knock the tree over.
Hubby has tomorrow off, then duty tomorrow, so we're going to just spend the day chilling out together. It's been very different with this captain- under the old captain, he'd keep the guys on the boat the day after a holiday, just because they were already there. This captain realizes that the guys want to spend time with their families, so this morning he said, if you don't have to be here, just go home. :) Very much appreciated!!
It's just nice to do something normal as a family. Our life is anything but normal, most of the time, so it's great to have days that we can spend together. Although, the 24 hour tether is looming, but we try not to think about that!
