brunch....

brunch for 16...Joseph was sleeping, since his officially nocturnal now.

We had cinnamon rolls and scrambled eggs with onions and cheese, grapefruit and cantaloupe, pomegranates, heart shaped waffles, pancakes, and bacon. And orange juice and coffee with half and half.

Our turkey is roasting, we have peeled ten pounds of potatoes. We chopped onions and celery for the stuffing, and cut up several butternut squashes. We have made up several new catagories for our home-made Scattergories game we will play later. The little girls had a marathon bath with the tub filled to the tippy-top, then went outside to enjoy the mild sunny day with Abigail. Paul and Sam are hunting for a second time today, this time with Kathryn and Evelyn. I am thinking Kap and Ev might get silly and scare all the deer away.

So...we are having a nice day, despite missing Benjamin....
