Another Thanksgiving Has Come and Gone

Here it is. Another Thanksgiving weekend coming to an end. It was here - it was glorious - and now it is slipping away into a Sunday evening.

I'm sure I should write something very wonderful and meaningful, but I'm just too tired, darn it. And it's my blog so you'll get some pictures and just know that I'm thankful for all of the above in my life.

We spent Thanksgiving with my family this year. My sister, Colleen and her family was there along with John's parents and brother. The food was gloriously good - I didn't overstuff myself but enjoyed every bite.

We played Wii - our newest toy in our house. And Brennan, Reid and I even went for a walk after the dishes were done.

Here's a shot of the bird before it met it's fate in the fryer.John had every safety precaution in place for this event. No frying accidents this year.Evan and I kept our distance behind the gate, too!And here is my glorious meal - it consisted of homemade Parker House Rolls (by me), squash, carrots, ham, sausage stuffing, fried turkey, broccoli casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy and the sidecar plate had cranberry pineapple jello (by me) and another roll. I did go back for a few seconds...but still saved room for the pumpkin pie, pecan pie, cookies, brownie bites and cheesecake. YUMMO!

The Christmas season is in full swing with all it's festive events. Say a prayer that we all make it through whatever is on our calendar this month and that we have the strength to say no when we just can't do it. I wish everyone good luck and a Happy Holidays!
