Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was a multi-day affair this year, with both E and M having a special meal at school, and then of course we had out own little Thanksgiving celebration at home. First up was E's Thanksgiving lunch, or should I say brunch? E's kindergarten class is one of the first to lunch in the cafeteria, at 10 am. Seriously, who eats lunch at 10am??? It was fun, as always, to hang out with a bunch of little 5 year-olds. Lunch was the typical Thanksgiving yummies: turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce and bread. Not that the boys noticed, they were too busy looking around at all the other kids and chatting (no wonder E barely eats his lunch). M's fete was a potluck, and we brought sweet potatoes, which were a big hit due to the many marshmallows. We also discovered that M loves corn on the cob, and E had fun hanging out in his old classroom. Finally we had our own little dinner at home with the 4 of us and Carrie, who came down for chow and a very early day of shopping. The big surprise of the day was how great the vegan pumpkin pie was! It was a huge hit with E, who scarfed each piece down in record time. M didn't go for it, but he enjoyed the gingerbread cookies :-)
