Happy Thanksgiving



We kicked off thanksgiving again at Andrew's preschool. His class got to be the Indians at the feast, and you can see he's pretty excited about his "corn," which in reality was filled with candy. Definitely something to give thanks for.



Then we headed up my sister Brenda's house, where we had the best sage-butter-and-maple-syrup basted turkey ever, with hands down the BEST STUFFING IN THE WORLD. I will never have Thanksgiving without this stuffing ever again, if I can help it.



Willa didn't even wait for me to finish dishing things up on her plate, or cutting the meat into bites, or utensils, or any of those limiting factors. She grabbed hold of a chuck of turkey and just gnawed away.



Of course, not everyone was so thankful for our feast. I told Andrew that this was one day I wouldn't tell him what he had to eat, so he chose candied yams and Lucky Charms for his Thanksgiving dinner.



My sister has 2 dogs, which make for great fun for the kids when we visit. Sometimes too much fun. We kept finding Willa laying down with her blanket all around the house.

Love that Andrew ate yams and Lucky Charms. Way to relax and enjoy the holiday. So fun that Brenda is close enough for y'all to visit. I remember Brenda being lots of fun to hang out with. Glad to hear that she still is.

yay finally Thanksgiving pictures. So this stuffing is the best ever and you aren't going to share the recipe? Whats up with that?

Also, I think me and Andrew are definitely related as he chose 2 of my top 5 foods on the planet to feast on.

We have the cutest grandkids on the face of the planet (which is undergoing catastrophic "climate change" (new term for global warming because now any kind of change, colder, warmer, wetter, drier) can be blamed on man's greedy use of the planet's resources.)

And then, someday, Andrew will eat like his Daddy used to and will eat you out of house and home and you will remember the good ole days when all you had to buy were 3main items and he was happy.
