Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving 2010 was quite delightful. We debated whether to stick with our eating out tradition this year and it was decided that we would. We're glad we did! The past 2 years we have gone to Bugaboo Creek to eat. The appeal of Bugaboo Creek was being able to get a reservation and not have to wait to be seated. But the food wasn't as good, so back to Dysart's we decided to go this year. Every year we try to figure out the best time to go to Dysart's, so we won't have to wait, but every year we end up waiting. This year was no different. However, this year I waited in the Yukon with the kids, which was less stressful.


Matt and my Mom waited in Dysart's and then Matt gave me a call when it was time to be seated. My Dad came out to the Yukon to wait with me and he helped get the kids into Dysart's. The kids were so good during our lunch and everyone enjoyed their yummy Thanksgiving dinner. Emily, Eleanor, Zach, and Kate ordered grilled cheese sandwiches and fries. That is another good thing about Dysart's...the kids can order whatever they want. Noah enjoyed a little bit of everything.





We were so full when we left Dysart's! We were thankful we ate pie for breakfast. :-)

After Dysart's, we went over to my parents' house to watch football, play Phase 10, watch the Thanksgiving parade, watch the Disney Channel, eat candy (we were too full for pie, but not candy???), and enjoy being together. Eleanor, Zach, and Kate stayed overnight with my parents while the rest of us came home. Zoe and Emily watched the 2nd Harry Potter movie and they slept in the living room, so they were content to be home.

I am so thankful for a wonderful family and for such a fun, relaxing Thanksgiving Day!
