The First Thanksgiving


Today was Miss Eliza Grace's first Thanksgiving! She tried the yam/turkey baby food mixture for the first time, and she loved it. She especially loved the new bib she got from Aunt Lindy that says "I'm Stuffed!" Everyone else got stuffed today too. This morning Sarah, Joel, and Mom went off to play flicker ball with some of Sar and Joel's professors and classmates. I guess that flicker ball is a traditional football-type game that the department plays each Thanksgiving. The rest of us just slept in and took it easy this morning. We had a tasty Thanksgiving lunch/dinner complete with turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, yam souffle, corn, rolls, and a wide assortment of pies and pumpkin cheesecake. Thanksgiving is surely the greatest and most delicious holiday of the year!! This afternoon we went for a beautiful fall Thanksgiving walk in the nice South Carolina weather. It really is beautiful here with all of the trees and fall colors. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
