Best Parts of the Day-
So many:
1. Marinel cooked it up!!! This woman made everything from scratch and it rocked. Babs is tough competition and Mar did it up.
2. Seeing the cousins play and hang. (Wyatt may be the most even-keeled child ever. Seems to lack the extreme intensity and emotional volatility of the O'Neills...)
3. Very enjoyable gathering at Terinel's--drinks and a feast and a good game of Poor Man's Scattegories to end Part One of the eve.
4. Sleep over at Sean/Alli's complete with watching The Sound of Music with the kids for Part Two. We ALL loved it!!
5. Minimal Chicago traffic overall.
6. Healthy family.
Worst Part of the Day-
So minor:
My concept of complementing fall outfits for myself and kiddies did not quite work out as planned. Liam, in full 3 year-old style, will pick and dress himself. Scarlet wore a traditional Native American Indian top (which was a bunting she wore as a 2 month-old, if one can even believe it) with a coordinating skirt. And I, as usual, kinda forgot about my non-fashion plate self and looked a little like a pale Greecian wearing a brown toga. Whatevs.
Neither Best Nor Worst:
The first holiday Will-O and I did not spend together. Not planned, not unplanned--just naturally occurred.
Happy Giving of Thanks to all! I am truly sorry the white man was such a jerk to the Native American people. It is pleasant to have a holiday that has evolved into people coming together to give thanks and eat.
