So after all that gnashing of keys, it actually turned out to be a nice day. We did the turkey/stuffing/mashed potato thing; it all turned out perfect and delicious. Emily helped with a few things, we sat around and ate cinnamon rolls and watched the parade, ate when it was ready, and even despite Max being whiny and uncooperative during the meal, it was a great time.
Then we went to Gary & Nesha's for pie and wine, which was also good. Although I had 3 big glasses of wine and had a minor headache this morning.
Today Jon went in and worked most of the day, but I braved the crowds and took the kids to the mall for a while -- actually got a parking space pretty close in, and the playground was the least-crowded part of the mall. Then a good dinner tonight (turkey tetrazzini), turkey stock made and put away, and all is good.
AND Emily is contentedly asleep in her bed wearing her pink-and-white handknit socks. That makes me very happy!
