Thanksgiving this year was a tad different than usual years. I mean we started the week out in the hospital having our little Gwen. Even though we were released from the hospital in time for Thanksgiving, having a new baby in the house leaves little time for actually cooking without losing your mind. I mean they are boring and sleep a lot in the beginning, but she also had absolutely no routine so there was nothing to let us know when we'd have a free moment to cook a decent dinner (especially when it takes all day long).
Luckily, I had the right mind set before she was born to schedule a pickup dinner from Harmon's for today. When we thought we were being induced on Tuesday we figured we'd be lucky to be home on Thursday so to be safe we'd plan dinner for Friday. This did push all our normal holiday plans back a day (I usually spend Black Friday decorating for Christmas) but sometimes you have to compromise and be okay with changes like that. I'm so glad there are places out there that will take care of the meal for you, the one we ordered included everything we'd normally have (aside from whole olives and eggnog, but we made sure to get those ahead of time as well) and so it made it so much easier for us which is nice in a home with a newborn.

Since we got home Wednesday we really lucked out and Marie offered to bring us some of the left over food they had from their dinner (including some really yummy apple pie). They ended up bringing us quite a bit and it was SO nice to have a real Thanksgiving-type meal on the actual day. It felt so weird to see everyone post on social media about their dinners while we were just acting like it was a normal Thursday. Although I did make sure to watch the parade in the morning - that was an easy one to make sure we did.
However, with how much Marie brought over and everything we got today I will say we are going to have leftovers for days...maybe even weeks at this rate. Luckily Cara seems to like all the food so that helps us get rid of it haha.

Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving out there from the four (FOUR!!) of us. It's going to be an interesting holiday season in this Bradsby house this year :)
