We decided to forgo the traditional turkey on account of me not being motivated to come up with a traditional menu, and Brian traveling so often to South Carolina and reawakening his BBQ-tooth (sort of like a sweet tooth, but involving more meat.) He brought back some sauce, and we fired up the grill. We still had a ton of food--scalloped potatoes, beans, salad, mac and cheese, and broccoli--and we still invited friends to share the feast. I still made pumpkin pie, and Tritan carried on his tradition of eating (almost) the whole thing. I made oatmeal cake, too, in honor of Apollo's birthday weekend, and we are still grateful for all of our friends and family.
Our kids love to hear the stories behind their mythological names: Tritan, Athena, Paris, Apollo. Even better: living their own stories...

When is Thanksgiving not Turkey-Day?
When it's BBQ chicken day!
