Happy Thanksgiving Day

While the aroma of cooking turkey won't be wafting through our house today as we are eating out, we will still have all the rest of the chaos of TG going on. All of the kids are safely under mama hen's roof and they stayed up talking for some time last night long after E and I went to bed. All 3 of them are late sleepers so we have the house to ourselves for a bit. E goes to work at 9 and will join the kids, my sister and her boyfriend and me at the Channel Mark restaurant on the Back Bay where we will have a buffet Thanksgiving. E is cooking a turkey and all the fixings for us on Sat. so I still get my white meat on wheat with mayo sandwich!I am hoping to convince the two guys to help me string the candy cane lights on the tree out in front while E is at work. We started to do this on Monday when the branch E was leaning on gave way and he fell off the ladder onto the lawn. Fortunately, he was cushioned by the thick grass and only his pride was injured. I'd rather he not get back up on the ladder for a bit.Poor Lucille, my new lime green retro Christmas tree for the front porch. She was blown off the table by the winds while Kristen and I were out shopping. While the rug cushioned the blow somewhat, several of her oh so cute ornaments were broken. I've now duct taped Lucille's feet to the table so she does not take another spill. Good thing I had found some more cool ornaments for her at Target when K and I were out!My coffee is hot, the morning brisk and the hot tub is calling me so I am off. Will post lots of pics of the kids and the restaurant. Have a great Thanksgiving one and all!
