What did we celebrate Thanksgiving with? Christmas eggs, of course! Audrey had her first taste of this Steffen family tradition and surprisingly, the mushrooms were her favorite part.
Next up was another family tradition, ripping up bread for stuffing while watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Audrey wasn't very interested in the parade aside from the Sesame Street float, which was strategically located at the beginning of the parade for all the young kids with no attention spans. She instead was interested in eating about 3 pounds of the stuffing bread.
After she got her fill of bread, we went on a little family trip to the park for a wagon ride around the football fields. It must be a Maryland tradition for the boys/men to get out of the house on Thanksgiving morning to play football because in our small local park there were three pickup games being played with full teams of at least a dozen players on each side.
We came home from the park, cooked a fairly traditional dinner (stuffing, sweet potatoes, dry turkey, and pecan pie), chatted with family on the computer, and called it a night. All in all, it was a pretty good start to the holiday season!
Hey....I beg to differ that dry turkey is traditional!!!
