Our Great Thanksgiving

I can’t wait to tell you about our great Thanksgiving.

I hope yours was great as well. How is everyone out there?

We ate way too much of course and my pants are fitting just a wee bit tighter.
I’ll start back on that diet tomorrow. 🙂

We had a fun group at our house for the big day and a LOT of food. My husband smoked the turkey and it was simply delicious. I give him major props because he never disappoints when it comes to smoking the bird.

There was the usual fisticuffs over who would get the dark meat, but we got through it.  🙂

It was a bit of a risk, but every side dish I made was a new recipe. I’ve been watching the Food Network religiously and had printed off yummy recipes from The Pioneer Woman, Alex Guarnaschelli, Katie Lee from The Kitchen, and others.

Everything came out great. I was so happy happy happy.

Who gets an A+ for side dishes this year?

This girl!

Gratitude and Love

After dinner, each one of us took a turn and one-by-one said what we were thankful for about each person at the table. It was a touching and memorable moment. It really was.

I love Thanksgiving!

I hope yours was happy and blessed.

God bless 🙂
