So Much to be Thankful For....

Woke up to some pressure. My assignment. The rolls. Yikes. The fear quickly dissipated as the smell of yeasty bread flooded the entire house.

The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade was on in the living room in the background - a must because I grew up with that tradition, even though we only had "the channel", it was always on during that 4th Thursday in November, setting the tone.

Kendall quickly covered himself in stickers and Nathan became occupied with his new latest interest: make paper airplanes. 500 of them. Justin sunk himself down into the couch pillows and read his favorite book while I talked to mom and prepared the salad, rolls, and gifts.

The weather was unbelievable. We gathered everything up and made a pit stop to Mammy and Papa's before heading to our final destination. The boys were in Heaven playing in the back yard and the adults were in Heaven scoping out all the Black Friday adds preparing their plan of attack.

It was finally time for Thanksgiving dinner. We arrived at Tiger and Allison's and as usual, it was decorated to the hilt. Elegant yet so very comfortable.

The dinner was delish and my favorite part was listening to the mesmerizing tone of chatter and laughter and in between hearing the forks clank the empty plates, signaling that it was time for seconds. Thirds. And fourths.

Most of the family was gone this year and greatly missed but we managed to squeeze in a teeny tiny bit of fun.

There was laughter in hysterics, hanging out, tuning in and out of a really awesome football game, the biggest BINGO game I have ever played, and a fire work show that was not at all illegal.
