Bud came into our room around 7 a.m., "Happy Thanksgiving!" He was so excited; it was so touching. But he managed to stay quiet until Sis and Goo roused a bit later . . . and they all played some Minecraft downstairs while Mama and I got a bit more sleep.
As I was broiling bacon cheese bites for breakfast, Ma and Gong arrived. The party really begins! They bought three whole cakes from Junior's in Brooklyn--cheesecake, strawberry shortcake, and chocolate cake!!--and also some remote-control cars for the kiddos. It's always Christmas with grandparents. As long as the kids don't chip the new paint on the baseboards . . . .
It's the relaxed time of the day before we really dive into meal prep. Familial, joyful, peaceful.
And then there'll be cooking.
