Thanksgiving 2022

/

A few months ago I decided I wanted to host Thanksgiving this year and have as many of the family as could join us for the day.  While sadly, not all could make it, we had a house full, including my brother and sister-in-law who made the trip home from Florida to be with us. 

It was a wonderful day, full of good food, laughs, and memories made.  It is days like this that remind us, how truelly blessed we are to have all these wonderful family members in our lives.

Thanksgiving 2021

We were able to have a small family gathering for Thanksgiving this year. I will say it was so nice to feel safe enough to gather and really celebrate as a family all we have to be thankful this year. We have all stayed healthy and managed to avoid Covid for a 2nd year which is a blessing.

Hopefully next year we can have even a larger gathering.

 

Thanksgiving 2020

/

With the craziness if Covid-19 still raging, Guy and I had to make a decision concerning the holidays. We decided it was best to not see anyone for Thanksgiving with the hopes we could see everyone over the holidays. it was a super quiet day. We walked the property, watched Hallmark Christmas movies, napped and then Skyped our holiday dinner with the Girls and their husbands.

Not the Thanksgiving we are use to and not the Thanksgiving we wanted but if it meant everyone was safe and we would have many more to share in the future it was the Thanksgiving 2020 we needed.

Our First Thanksgiving

/

It's a very simple rule.. don't let me in the kitchen to prepare the main course of any major meal.  Our first Thanksgiving turkey qualifies for this rule and so Guy became head chef of the day and handled turkey duties while I was in charge of the sides.  This worked out perfectly. 

It was a perfect first Thanksgiving together.  With the boys both working and Devon/Bryan in Germany it was just us two and Shelby.  We had a great visit with her, a nice simple dinner and then she ran off to Jake's house and we headed over to Guy's nephew David's home to visit with his family including Guys brother and sister in law.  Great start to our first holiday season together.
