Thanksgiving

Yesterday I celebrated Thanksgiving Day with my family at my brother and sister-in-laws new home. If you know my brother, David, he's NEVER on time and he doesn't even have any kids. He's going to be late to his own funeral. We were scheduled to eat at noon, but an hour later we were eating. At least he's consistent, right? It was worth the wait. Amie did an AWESOME job for her first big feast with the familia.

I caught heck from David. My family always dresses nicely to celebrate any holiday. I had a flash back of a Friends episode when Joey wore Phoebe's maternity pants. I didn't wear the maternity pants but I did dress comfortable. I wore a jogging suit. (Bunch of Haters!) I finally wised up after all these years. I needed room to expand so I could devour all the yummy food, especially all the deserts. My Aunt Olivia's banana pudding is still my favorite! I didn't feel so restricted..........just extremely SLEEPY!!!

I enjoyed the time I was able to spend with my family even though, Ricky and Brandon weren't with us to celebrate. (I know they were having a great time with their other parents.) My brothers and my cousin, James, are a riot! They can make anyone laugh. I can't wait to see them again at Christmas.

This year, I'm thankful for my husband, my little ones, my and their health, family and friends, our freedom, and this amazing life I have been blessed with. I'm truly fortunate to be apart of every beautiful day, especially as an American!

To be continued..........we still have to celebrate the McDowell's at the lake house.
