Many Things to be Thankful For

We have many things to be thankful for this year..... family is definately top of the list. Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Corey, Cousin James and Grammy made the trip to visit us for Thanksgiving. Brandon and Ryan were going nuts waiting for them to arrive. We all got up early and followed our normal traditions of watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and had breakfast. Then I started preparing snacks and getting the turkey ready for the oven. We had tons of snack food... chips and dip, cocktail wieners, cheese and crackers and a Mexican layer dip. Then came dinner, a 22lb turkey with as Eddie said this year.."the best stuffing ever", mashed potatoes, gravy and a sauteed squash and zucchini dish that was so so. Dessert was my newest masterpiece pumpkin roll and homemade apple pie.

Brandon and Ryan had a ball with Cousin James and their Aunt and Uncle. They were attached to Grammy like a second skin. Grammy stayed with us for a couple of days. We kept her busy with shopping, decorating our Christmas tree and a fire pit on Friday night where we roasted marshmallows and made smores with Grammy and I sipping on a little wine! We were singing Christmas and other songs too.


Aunt Jamie getting some much needed snuggle time with James while everyone else cleaned up the dinner dishes. How cute is he??!!!!!!

Aunt Lindsay attached to her cell, texting and resting after a big meal!

This was such a wonderful Thanksgiving. It was so much fun having Grammy back for a few days. The boys, especially Ryan were pretty upset when she left this morning. Ryan rode with me this morning to my Aunt Lindsay half way to pick her up.

We hope your Thanksgiving was happy and filled with family and friends!
