Thanksgiving Day

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” This scripture has been sung and recited many times in my life but it is true for each and every day.

This is from a yard in my parents neighborhood.

 

 

Below are pictures from Thanksgiving lunch at my mother and father’s house. There were about 17 of us there for a meal of gumbo and ham sandwiches along with yummy desserts!!

Then my daughter and her family joined us at our house for a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner of turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes (for my dearest hubby), sweet potato casserole (for my loving daughter), green beans, gravy and homemade rolls (for my granddaughter who loves bread) along with pumpkin pie and caramel brownies for dessert.

After dinner it is our tradition to decorate the Christmas Tree. This is the first year our son has not been present so we set aside a few of his personalized ornaments for him to add when he and his lovely wife come for Christmas. (We miss you, Jason and Chelsy!!) This year it included a new addition – a grandchildren’s tree for them to decorate as they please. Quite fun!

As you can see, my son-in-law opted to babysit.

Mommy helped! (What doesn’t show is that the nutcracker in hand had an arm amputated and grandpa had to do surgery!)

She did a great job!!

 

 

 

Our day was truly blessed of God.

  2. Silly woman - my grandson is sitting on his father's lap. I will accept your offer of $1.70 a month to play with you children (and, no, I have no idea what you are talking about.) Love you and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

  3. I am talking of the picture of you guys around the table at your house. I do not see him.

    On one of the pictures, the tv is on with a flash of "$1.70 per month" and you are sitting on the floor playing with your grandaughter!

    Miss you!

  4. You got me there. When I first read it I was thinking, "the TV wasn't on at our house" but is was a Momma and Daddy's. Pray for my father as he fell Saturday and fractured his arm. His hip is also hurting badly and they will check that tomorrow. Love you!!
