Insanity Won

We had a houseful of guests this weekend - 3 adults, 3 children under the age of 9. We were dangerously close to having more children than adults.

That is risky business.

We also had a 10 hour round-trip drive for a family wedding, meaning lots of chatting with and hugging on extended family.

Somewhere in there we fit in breakfast with completely-unrelated-to-the-wedding family. All in all, good.

And, we had a bit of insanity.

Insanity is a guest (ahem, your mom) emailing the day before arrival to say:

 

Wouldn't it be good to have family Thanksgiving while we're there?

Rational, reasonable Shannah thought

It would be a terrible idea to try to have Thanksgiving while you're here.

Insane Shannah emailed back and said

 

Sure!

So before hopping in the car for leg one of the 10 hour round-trip drive, I made nearly all of the side dishes and two kinds of pie.

After returning post-wedding, post-family breakfast, post-leg two of the 10 hour round-trip drive, I roasted a turkey and made the remaining of the Thanksgiving dishes.

And...it was good.
