It's Turkey Day!

We love you and thankful for you, our family and friends!!!
Have a thankful, safe, and fun Thanksgiving!

Here's a video that lil David and I had a kick watching several years ago. I looked for it on YouTube and here is it! Enjoy!!

Happy Thanksgiving!

"For flowers that bloom about our feet;
For tender grass, so fresh, so sweet;
For song of bird, and hum of bee;
For all things fair we hear or see,
Father in heaven, we thank Thee!"
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

For these and abundantly more, I thank my Heavenly Father.

I love you family and friends.

Here's another one just for fun:

"May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump, may your potatoes and gravy have never a lump. May your yams be delicious and your pies take the prize... AND may your Thanksgiving dinner stay off your thighs!" ~Anonymous

Taking back Thanksgiving

When you have a big family there's going to be holiday hopping. Several years ago, I managed to take Thanksgiving as my holiday for extended family to come over. Then when Sophia was born on Thanksgiving month, I wasn't able to do it and so the holiday got away from me. This year, I took it back! Of course, other situations have since occurred so this year only my parents and my mother-in-law were able to make it. It was cozy but wonderful none-the-less. On the menu was the traditional ... turkey, ham, stuffing, mash potato and gravy, cranberry sauce, apple pie, pumpkin pie, and not so traditional ... rice, corn on the cob, asparagus, bolillo bread, and sweet potato french fries (meant for the kids but it didn't fool them! those boogers!!). A very tasty feast if I do say so myself! Maybe next year I'll get my big dining set back and have more family over. Let's see!
Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

Belated Thanksgiving

Dave had to work on Thanksgiving day but since he works the swing shift, I was able to prepare a Thanksgiving lunch for us. I made the classic feast ... turkey, ham, stuffing, mash potato and gravy, cranberry sauce, biscuits, and pumpkin pie. It wasn't half bad if I do say so myself! Then the kids and I did our rounds with the relatives. Mid-afternoon we went to my sister's to celebrate with my side of the family. More turkey and fixings plus a touch of Filipino food. By evening time, we went to one of my sister-in-law's to celebrate with Dave's side of the family. We had a long day but certainly had a great time seeing everyone and grateful for the bounty of blessings.

**Yes, I forgot to bring my camera and didn't get to capture the fun! :(

Happy Thanksgiving!

A quick shout out to you all, my family and friends! You truly bring fullness in my life and I'm so grateful for each and everyone of you. May you have a very Happy Thanksgiving filled with fun, laughter, joy, love, and all things beautiful.

I love you!
