Thanksgiving at home

I think Wally was born to be a model. He was really proud of his sunglasses on his head! Wally was saying tonight that "Daisy is my best pal in the whole world!" I guess this picture doesn't show Daisy thinking the same about Wally, but I think she does feel that way.

As a fun art project on Thanksgiving day, Wally painted our feet and we all made foot prints. For our first Thanksgiving on our own and our first Thanksgiving knowing about our babies in Ethiopia, we decided to start a tradition of making injera, an Ethiopian staple. It is kinda like a pancake, kinda like a crepe. The use it to eat with in place of utensils and plates. Though it doesn't have much flavor, it is rather addicting.

Our first injera hot off the griddle.Even Wally couldn't get enough of this stuff. We'll likely be making it a lot once the kids come home. It makes me feel better to know that we can successfully and easily make a food they will be used to.I decided a good time to make a full Thanksgiving meal would be when no one else is around. That way there was no pressure. Though we only had one pie, we had the turkey and all of the fixings.
