So, I looked at my boys whose picky palates prefer only pizza, corn dogs or chicken nuggets, and wondered why I would go to all the work of a big Thanksgiving dinner when they wouldn't eat it anyway. We decided to do a very non-traditional Thanksgiving and we went to San Diego Zoo's Wild Animal Park with our friends the Johnsons. It was a great day! The park wasn't that crowded and it wasn't too hot. We ate our "ghetto" Thanksgiving dinner at Hoff's Hut. I didn't even get up at 5:00 am to go shopping on Black Friday. Very non-traditional, but we loved it!

You go girl! It looks like you had a great holiday! I don't blame you for not going all crazy on a big dinner if no one is going to eat it. Love the pictures.
What a fabulous idea! I'm glad you had fun. The boys are getting too big.
Hey, Old Friend! So much to say... First, love your Thanksgiving - what a great day to spend the day. Second, I had a very vivid dream about you and your family the other night; I dreamed we were making Rice Krispie Treats in your kitchen and our kids were running/crawling around together. It was so good to be with you after all these 15 years...even if only in a dream. And last, I love that you busted out the Mariah Carey "All I Want for Christmas is You" because I dislike her about 335 days a year except when I can hear this song over and over again... That and her version of O Holy Night - give me chills for real.
More later... keep bloggin' and cooking...I'll be back to check out what you're up to.
