We stayed in Knoxville this year for Thanksgiving, due to being home only two weeks ago, and had a great feast and a great day.
Devan marinated and fried our turkey, and because he was prepared and had all the right tools, everybody was safe and the turkey was absolutely delicious!
I made plenty of sides, but as Devan reminded me today, no dessert. Somehow that slipped my mind as I was drooling over garlic mashed potatoes and buttery rolls.
Jalen tried a little of everything we ate and liked it all until he decided he wanted to feed himself -- and by that I mean throw everything on his tray onto the floor. Enter Mace ("MMmmmAAH!" to Jalen).
And I say party of 4 because Mace got to enjoy the giblets. Ew.
After the feast, we put up the top-half-only-decorated Christmas tree while J was napping. I was afraid to see what would happen when he woke up and saw it.
But, he walked over to it, touched it to see how prickly it was and that was it, and so far that's still it. He and Daddy have been working on dribbling and passing skills lately and Jalen is showing some real potential. Duh!
