This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our house. My parents came from the Cape and we also hosted Allison’s friend Colleen and her mother. Allison and Colleen prepared a ton of food last night and got ready for everything today. Allison made sure that she made many recipes that were gluten free so that my Mom could eat them including a gluten free green bean casserole. Colleen’s mom brought over a pumpkin bread that we can eat tomorrow morning. We had apple pie, pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake and chocolate chip cookie pie. So much food.

After dinner and everyone headed home we got changed into our Christmas pajamas. This is a yearly tradition. This was the first year that the pajamas fit well for sleeping. As we lounged in the new pajamas we enjoyed watching the movie 8-Bit Christmas. This was a hilarious movie about one kids’ quest to get a Nintendo Entertainment System. It starred Neil Patrick Harris and Steve Zahn. I really enjoyed it and we laughed a lot during the movie. Although, the movie was set in 1988 and that was a bit late in the NES and Cabbage Patch craze. Seeing as this was something I lived through and it was so close to my own personal Christmases of years past I remember the dates very clearly. Christmas 1984 was all about Transformers and Cabbage Patch Kids. My grandparents scoured the Eastern Seaboard for them. Christmas 1985 was the year of Nintendo and more Cabbage Patch kids. 1988 was way late in the NES game. That aside, it was a very fun movie.

We had a nice Cinco De Mayo dinner tonight with Tacos and I enjoyed my one drink a year. We enjoyed some margaritas with the mix we got from our purchase at the Kentucky Humane Society. It is one of my favorite drinks and that is why it gets the honor of being my one a year.

And then I remembered that I had a Guinness on Saint Patrick’s Day.
