Thanksgiving, am I thankful?




Yes, I am so thankful I was able to spend Thanksgiving with my brother and his family. They came in late Wednesday evening and we stayed up until almost 2 am talking. Brian had such a serving spirit he spent 12 hours working on the brining process of our turkey, he made all of the veggies and even a homemade pumpkin pie which was all AWESOME! I was able to relax for the day and just enjoy my brother and sis-in-law. Thank you Kathy for teaching your son how to cook!!!
I was wondering how my hubby would deal with another Thanksgiving with out his family who now live in Texas. You see my Mother-in-law is wonderful in the kitchen and she makes the best Thanksgiving spread. I guess if you can't bring your Mom into the kitchen you copy her? I would have to say that this year Brian wins first place for his spread.
Ou afternoon included my neice Becca riding bikes with Landen while Hannah, Gracie and Lilly had fun playing outside with baby dolls and Lilly's 4-wheeler. Gabriel stayed inside and enjoyed playing his game cube with Becca later in the afternoon. After a fun filled day we were all ready for a nap. All of us except the children that is...It was a bit hard saying bye to my bro. but we are praying for the Lord to lead his ministry here.
Friday morning Brian and I were up early for Black Friday as our tradition. It was a bit crazy but the best part of all was just spending some one on one time together. So, I hope to hear from you all on what you did for Thanksgiving and are you thankful?
