As Thanksgiving came upon us, I realized we had plans for the meal- to meet Steve's family at a restaurant for 12:30, then back to their house for pie and cards- but no plans for Thanksgiving morning.
Thanksgiving morning...not something especially known for traditions up until now. I decided I wanted to change that because it has always seemed disappointing to me, even as an adult, when holiday mornings seem like the same as any morning.
Plans began to form.
I ran the idea of a "special breakfast" past Steve, who is the breakfast cook in our house. He immediately narrowed down a few recipes we had never had, and decided on a Sausage, Egg, Hash brown Casserole. I came up with the idea for us to enjoy a few mimosas, as well, and because it was a holiday, I bought the apple cider donuts I had been eyeing for months.
The morning couldn't have gone better! We all stayed in our pajamas, the house was toasty warm from the wood stove, and to top it off, there were lazy snowflakes floating through the air outside. It couldn't have been more picturesque.
We watched the parade on TV as we ate our breakfast (yet another special thing that we never usually do), and just relaxed. Eventually we took showers and baths, and headed off to our Thanksgiving dinner. It was very different from the usual hustle and bustle a typical morning brings.
We couldn't remember a nicer Thanksgiving morning. It was special in many ways, and also a reminder that, if you put your mind to it, any moment can be as fun as you want to make it. A lot of it depends purely on your mindset.
