Thanksgiving is always a great time to reflect on what we have and what we are thankful for. My greatest blessings are my family and friends. They are always there when I need them and always lift me up. They make my heart beat faster and are the ones I live for. I'm beyond thankful for be a wife and a mother.
Earlier this month, Amelia and Elliot had their Thanksgiving luncheon at school and since these were both on the same day, Derrick attended one and I attended the other one.
The kindergartners also talked about the First Thanksgiving and made a Native Indian outfit, complete with their Indian name:
For Thanksgiving, we invited our Austrian friends, Bettina, Dominik and Evie, to join us for dinner. My first time cooking a 13 lbs turkey. All the food (from ham to yams and Knoedel) was delicious and plentiful and as usual, we ate way too much.
Thanksgiving is by far one of my favorite holidays...really, what is there not to like? Food, family, friends and one does not need to worry about gifts. Unless you went Black Friday shopping this morning, like me. I only went out for a couple of hours but I was very successful.
