Thanksgiving 2010

I just wanted to chronicle our Thanksgiving of 2010. We learned some things: #1 - A movie before the meal sounds like a good idea until you have to have 5 people ready to be out the door by 9:50am when you have slept in. #2 - Prepare to serve your children dinner at their normal dinner time (5:30pm) because they will not eat at 2:00pm. This makes things difficult when you are not having Thanksgiving at your house and so there are no leftovers to serve them. #3 - If you have a toddler, wear earplugs at the meal to lessen the effects of their screams. #4 - Bedtime must be extended as naps were taken at 5:00pm on the way home from Grandma's instead of 2:00. Children don't go to bed when they have just woken up! #5 - Our Thanksgiving 2009 was spent at a restaurant. We weren't sure then but are sure now that is the way to go!
