Sleeping Beauty and Thanksgiving, Part Uno

 Basia woke up early all on her own yesterday morning.  She usually has to be pried out of bed, so I was surprised.  Not for long, though.  She got herself a bowl of cereal, actually ate a few bites, and then fell asleep on the chair for a couple more hours.  I was thinking it was going to be one of those days when Basia just can't quite wake up fully until lunch time.  She hasn't actually had one in a really long time.  By 9:30, though, she was up and awake and happy and ready to tackle the day.

That was good because we were hosting Thanksgiving, Part Uno, at our house for our homeschool co-op.  Public school kids get their turkey dinner this time each year, so we did our own Thanksgiving Feast, pot-luck-style, instead of our regularly-scheduled Wednesday co-op.  What can I say?  I'm a little nuts.  I broke out the China we inherited from Jon's aunt for the occasion and the real silver to go with it.  I'm not too crazy, though.  I wasn't about to iron the table cloths!  The food was delicious, and we always enjoy the company of our homeschool buddies!
