Thanksgiving was definitely different this year with Covid in the air, but we had a truly good time as a family and still got to connect digitally with loved ones outside of this household.
I started the day with a 500 workout (100 burpees, 100 airsquats, 100 pushups, 100 situps, 100 bicep curls) which felt amazing because I didn’t workout much this week and I was craving it.
From 10-11, I helped clean the house and then we all had a wonderful time Zoom chatting with my dad and Suzanne and others on the Miner side of the family.
Then I did more cleaning while Lily spent A TON of time cooking. She was such a star because she even let all of the kids help her cook!
We then had our Thanksgiving program which Lydia fully organized. She also made all of the costumes. She really put work and care into it and it was so fun. I was a cranberry, Clarissa was pumpkin pie, Lydia was a Native American, Mary was a Pilgrim and Ammon was a turkey. Georgia also joined the program through Alexa.
Here are some highlights!
Also, before diving into our Thanksgiving dinner, we had a wonderful time connecting with Clark, Swathi, their kids and Georgia over facetime.
I about died with joy when it came time for the feast. The pumpkin rolls were out of this world. Really everything was so good.
In the past I’ve often said I’m not a huge fan of cheesecake, but I can’t say that anymore because Lily’s cheesecake fully converted me. It was so good!!
I did a lot of the cleanup because Lily slaved all day over the food, and cleaned a ton as she went. After that, Lydia and Mary played Zoom games with my dad, Suzanne, Jere and David, and I went to see my friend Nick and share our Thanksgiving food with him (we usually would have him over on Thanksgiving). It was so nice to catch up with one of my very best friends!
Thank you Lily for the amazing feast, and Lydia for the fantastic program!
