THANKSGIVING preparation of the big meal went well. Maybe the smoothest one ever. That helped.
By noon, we were all together. A few announcements were made like... "After we eat, I want to take a few family pictures before anyone leaves."
We took a moment to share what we were thankful for and prayed. We had a nice selection of food and I believe everyone ate well.
True to form, we snapped a few pics. Visited and had fun.
After we ate, a few family members left and this is when Santa paid us a visit handing out $2 bills. HoHoHo.
Hubby snuck upstairs and slipped on an old pair of red long johns that I discovered when going through our Christmas decorations a couple of months ago.
He stuffed himself with a pillow and placed a Santa hat on and came down the stairs Ho.Ho.Hoing. A first for my Husband. He did a great job pretending to be Santa. We all laughed.
We took turns holding the Baby. He is only two weeks old and such a sweet one. Blonde hair and I think blue eyes.
We had a blessed time together. Nobody went away hungry or sad.
To me, I had a full heart and appreciated our time together. It was awesome.
I will hold onto this HOLIDAY for a long time. I want to remember this one even with my hair a mess, being over weight and wearing no make-up. Family time was a blessing and I can smile really big knowing we were together this THANKSGIVING.
~FAMILY PICS~
Photo op OVERLOAD and I loved it.
The day was full. Very, very full. By bedtime I. was. tired.
I had washed lot of pots 'n pans and tidied up where needed. We filled about 20 trash bags full of this and that over this HOLIDAY. Made my head spin, but we only get together once a year if we're lucky. We were lucky and I am so thankful this holiday took place.
THANKFUL we were together with harmony, peace, sounds of laughter, hugs and smiles.
The sound a Family makes when being HAPPY
because we're together was heard,
