Rowen woke us up early as though it were a normal school day, begging to have breakfast. I unsuccessfully tried to stay in bed, but finally gave in as I needed to get ready to sing at the 10am mass anyway. Janelle and the boys stayed home, while I sang acapella with the rest of the choir. While that let her get ready for our Thanksgiving meals, it did mean that she and the boys missed out on seeing Elizabeth Applebee Larson and her youngest daughters.
Immediately after mass, I headed back home, switched vehicles and took the family to Our Lady of Angels church in Kenai for their Thanksgiving buffet. Janelle brought her amazing sweat potato casserole. It was an amazing spread with plenty of great food. We met several nice people, but did not stay for bingo, as we still wanted to have our traditional family meal today as well.
Due to the past few warm days and a night of heavy rain, much of the snow has disappeared. While the ice and slush are gone from the main roads, several of the side roads, including the roads that we take home, were quite slick. We didn't have any problems driving, but Janelle is concerned about later in the week as the temperatures begin to drop again.
At home, we made (and received) a number of phone calls from family, including a Skype call with our daughters, Alex and Katrina, that lasted over an hour. Meanwhile we worked at getting the main meal together, finally eating at around eight.
It has been a great day which was alone worth our thanks. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.
