Although it was Thanksgiving, it certainly didn't FEEL like it this year. We always have a house full of people, usually the same group of people who either don't have family close by or choose not to spend the day with them. This year, though, a misunderstanding between some of our guests and a lack of communication with me left us with NO ONE coming! Cayman was devastated (sobbing even) because we wouldn't have anyone here. I debated between cooking a full Thanksgiving meal for the 3 of us or eating at The Driskill. I finally decided to cook everything just for us. And to calm Cayman down, I told her we'd take her to the movies.
Well, guess what? It turned out to be an AWESOME day!!! We slept in, had coffee and breakfast, and started prepping our food. About 10:30 we left and went and saw "Tangled"...which is a GREAT movie. When we got back home we finished cooking, had our Thanksgiving feast, and watched the Cowboys. We had very little mess to clean up and I even did a little bit of shopping!
We made the best out of a bad situation (which was all I could do, really). I hope next year will be more like our usual Thanksgiving get togethers...but if not, I know what to do!
