Thanksgiving Traditions

Somewhat unexpectedly the kids are going to be with me on Thanksgiving. Since I a.) don't have it in me to do the big dinner thing this year, and b.) want to make the most of a whole, entire day at home with my kids, I told the kids that this year for Thanksgiving we'd start a new tradition called "You-can-each-choose-one-thing-to-make-for-Thanksgiving-dinner-and-Mommy-will-help-you-make-it-all-by-yourself."

Mommy didn't think this one out very well. Here is our Thanksgiving Day Menu:

Mac & Cheese (Grace)
Ramen Noodles (Mia)
Hot Chocolate (Mercie)
Doughnuts (Eric)

I tried to steer them toward more traditional choices, but I was reminded that I'd said they could choose. Okay-dokey.

If anyone needs more starchy carbs to round out Thanksgiving Day feasting, apparently you can just stop by our house.

Sweet! What a great menu! You can be certain that you won't be scraping bits of unwanted green beans and yams in to the garbage.

I believe you may be seeing my kids for Thanksgiving this year :) I think if I were to take to your method we'd be having crepes, apples, and ramen noodles for our feast.

Those were all foods I used to love, and I thought they were really fun to eat all the time.... what happened?

MMMmmmm.... a child's Thanksgiving Dream Menu!! After our dinner this year, Kinley informed me that her favorite part of the meal was the chips.
