Thanksgiving Day!

 

We had a special Thanksgiving Day yesterday. Historically, Thanksgiving has been a bit of a moving target for us in how we celebrate. Sometimes we’ve spent it with my family. Sometimes we’ve gone to Ryan’s family’s gathering. Sometimes we’ve done multiple visits in one day. (Remember the year we had four or five all in one day? And I don’t even like turkey!) Last year we were on the road headed to Florida on Thanksgiving, and our dinner came from Sonic.

            Yesterday we were with my family…all siblings home for the day! It’s the first time in many years that the entire immediate family has been able to be together for any kind of holiday, so it was sweet! (Missed our extended family!)

            We gathered at Mom and dad’s house, but the girls did the cooking this year. I thought we pulled it together pretty well!

            Ryan and I made the rolls…

            …and this cute turkey-themed veggie tray!

            We took green beans too, but they just aren’t as cute in pictures. Imagine them. 😊

            The table was full – of food and people!

            Lexi was happy to see her grandpa. She was happy to see everyone, actually.

            We enjoyed our food and conversation and squeezed in a few pictures before going our separate ways.

            Hope your Thanksgiving was a good one! We are grateful for ours.
