Long overdue post. Hello life!
We did Thanksgiving a little differently. Little Miss Joanna decided she has forgotten how to sleep thru the night back in October. She wakes anywhere from 1-2 times a night calling for me and I did not want her to have free-range roaming at my in-laws. Her door lock is reversed, so she cannot get out. I didn't want to deal with all of that so B and Vivian went to my in-laws while Jo and I stayed home.
It felt odd just being the two of us and not around family, but we made the most of it. We were going to take a fried turkey with us along with the turkey Nana was going to cook, but we left that behind to have. Jo and I had the fried turkey, baked sweet potatoes, mac n' cheese salad. She doesn't eat much anyway and she was happy.
After lunch, we went to the playground then to the beach. It was cold, but we had fun. I think she really enjoyed our one-on-one time.
We even braved Black Friday at Mayfair, which wasn't too bad since we got there around 8 am. She had her first hot chocolate at Starbucks and we spent hours in Barnes & Noble.
B and Vivian made it home by 1 pm with lots of leftovers. Happy I was able to have our special time together.
