Memories of Thanksgiving

The last couple of days have been filled with lots of coughing, nose-wiping, and snuggles as Roman and Avery have been wracked with a cold and fevers.  Last night I seriously thought of running away and staying at a hotel as they were both in bed with me and both were snoring like lumberjacks.  We did find some time to go to a couple movies this Thanksgiving break.  My mom came over and took the little kids to Chuck E Cheese, so that Frank, Harris, Winston, and I could go see the Hunger Games Mockingjay Part 2 movie.  I need to re-read the last book because it has been so long since I read the book, and I felt like they added stuff that wasn't there. The movie was still good.  I took the little girls to see the movie The Good Dinosaur.  The theme was good which was that everyone has fear and we need to conquer our fears, but it was geared more for an audience of 7 and above.  The movie also touches on grief and abandonment.  The week before we saw the Peanuts movie!  It was fantastic!  Classic Charlie Brown and good for all ages! As I said Thanksgiving was fantastic!  We had lovely weather, the food turned out fantastic, and the company was even better.  Here was our menu for Thanksgiving: stuffed mushrooms, tomato prosciutto tart, rolls, sushi and shrimp platter, turkey, quinoa and apple salad, gravy, cranberry sauce, cranberry salad, and a mixed green salad. We had apple crumble and tiramisu for dessert.  We talked for hours by the outdoor fireplace.
post edit- I forgot to write that Winston spent the morning playing football in our church congregation annual Turkey Bowl and glad no one was hurt this year.  The previous year there were several bones broken.
