Jada's First Thanksgiving

Had to get a little video of Jada's First Thanksgiving. We are having a quiet day with our family and enjoying that! Happy Thanksgiving from all of us to all of you! (Yes, the family wasn't excited about the video, but hey, it's different than your usual greeting, don't you think!?!?)

Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to share some of our Thanksgiving with you!!

The boys wrote these poems last week:

What makes a Good Thanksgiving

What makes a good Thanksgiving?

Golden Corn inviting someone to take a nibble

Stuffed turkey waiting to be gobbled

Smashed potatoes making you very lustful

That makes a good thanksgiving.

What makes a perfect Thanksgiving?

Candles' aroma surfing on waves of air.

Cookies, tasteful, makes you not want to share

Family celebrating like they are at a fair

That makes a perfect Thanksgiving.
~Aaron (age 10)

Scents of Thanksgiving

The smell of turkey roasting,

filling the house with joy.

Bright fall candles burning,

silently.

Ginger and crimson leaves

Blowing calmly in the air.

Assortments of flavors

Tiptoeing on my tongue.

Sometimes I smell perfume

that my mom wears.

But my favorite smell of thanksgiving

is the great tasting food.
~Caleb (Age 12)




The Traits of a Certain Holiday
Mouth watering, irresistible aroma,

elegant and beautiful.

The cornucopia of flavors,
Turkey,
Mashed potatoes,
Green beans,
Corn,
All on the table.
These are the Traits of a certain Holiday.
~Micah (Age 13)

We do hope that not just this day, but that everyday finds you thankful for your many gifts. We have been blessed and it is nice to have a day that reminds us of that. Thinking of you all -

Always Thinking about Food!!

You Are Mashed Potatoes

Oridnary, comforting, and more than a little predictable You're the glue that holds everyone together.

What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

Saw this on my friend's blog and had to play along. If you try it - let me know what you are !! We'll see if we can get the whole meal!!

...Visions of Sugarplums.....

Well - we had baked chicken (no turkey for just the 6 of us - we go smaller!!), corn casserole, broccoli with almonds, stuffing, mashed potatoes, orange salad and rolls but Posh had other ideas....




.....LOVEBIRD!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

MAY YOUR STUFFING BE TASTY,

MAY YOUR TURKEY BE PLUMP.

MAY YOUR POTATOES 'N GRAVY HAVE NARY A LUMP,

MAY YOUR YAMS BE DELICIOUS,

MAY YOUR PIES TAKE THE PRIZE,

MAY YOUR THANKSGIVING DINNER STAY OFF OF YOUR THIGHS.

GOBBLE TIL YOU WOBBLE.........

AND IN ALL AND FOR ALL THINGS GIVE THANKS.

Happy Thanksgiving all - Hope your day is wonderful. We have so much to be thankful for!
