Yesterday we celebrated "Franksgiving" with Sarah, Joel, Eliza, and Leo. Franksgiving is when you celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday instead of Thursday :-) We had planned to have the Agates over on Thursday, but the weather was crummy here in Illinois, so we're glad that we waited until Friday. The Agates made the journey from Carbondale to Springfield, and then we had a delicious Thanksgiving feast for lunch! I realized today that Greg and I forgot to make the stuffing--but we didn't really miss it because we had so much tasty food: turkey, ham, yams, corn pudding, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, rolls, and pumpkin pie. Yummy!!
Leo thought that his baby food sweet potatoes were really delicious, although he did try to swipe some of the big people food.
After lunch we headed over to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum. Here are the Agates and the Bowles with the Lincoln family. Eliza wasn't quite sure how she felt about the wax people.
Eliza's idea of fun was dressing up in Mrs. Lincoln's Attic! She worked very hard to prepare a Thanksgiving feast of her own using the period-style utensils in Mrs. Lincoln's Attic. She is quite the cheffer! After the museum we had some turkey sandwiches (quite possibly the best part of Thanksgiving) and made some gumdrop turkeys before the Agates headed for home. It was such a fun day! I'm glad that even though we are far away from most of our family, the Agates live out here in the middle of nowhere with us :-) It was so nice to be with them for Franksgiving.
Today Greg and I put up the Christmas tree. We're ready for the Christmas season!
