Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving for our family to yours!! May ya'll be blessed! Hopefully each of you are having a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by those you love, and filled with lots of fun and special memories, and may you have plenty to eat! Most of all, don't forget the reason we celebrate Thanksgiving, so be sure to give thanks!

That's a picture of the girls from yesterday! It is finally really looking like fall out there!

What are your plans this Thanksgiving? Do you have big travel plans, or expecting lots of company? What's your favorite annual dish?

This year we are staying home! It's 7 hours to where my family is, and this year we are staying home! We have invited our friends over, and some co - works. We are fixing lots of yummies for everyone to enjoy! I absolutely love Thanksgiving Dinner.

I did cut down a few dishes this year, but we don't need them. And we sure don't need the extra desserts that I cut out either. Normally I'd have a rice dish or homemade mac and cheese, and green beans too. Then for desserts I would normally make the pumpkin pie too, and also add in coconut pie, and then either lemon or chocolate pie, plus german chocolate brownie pie, and some kind of candy. For the candy it would either be fudge or peanut clusters. So we sure didn't need the extra's.

I'm so excited for our day! We will watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to start off our day! And tomorrow night, we will watch Santa Paws! I can't wait to see it! And I know the girls will love it!!!

I can't wait to share with you pictures of them from tomorrow! Let's just say what they will have on is super special and a very special tie to Mamaw / Momma!!! She may not physically be here anymore, but we sure will always keep her with us, one way or the other!

Off to do some more baking! I am the crazy one that stays up all night and then will crash tomorrow evening! This year I am skipping Black Friday Shopping. Well I think I am. We live in a very rural area, and it's an hour, no matter what direction we go, to Wal Mart even. With the plenty of Deer we would be seeing that time of morning, I think I will just pass and take advantage of a beautiful day with my family! Now if I had gone back home and Momma was here, we would go for sure!

Well I have rambled on long enough! Hope you have a beautiful and super blessed Thanksgiving Day!

Hugs and Blessings,

********* update ~ no pumpkin roll! I am out of wax paper! Living in podunkville, nothing is open! So I am making a banana cake with homemade butter cream frosting.
