Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful for what we have and a time to reflect on how blessed each one of us are. The thing that I'm thankful for is family and I'm very thankful for mine.
On Thursday, which was also my birthday, we had our Thanksgiving dinner. Susan cooked a turkey and also made mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, a broccoli bake, coleslaw, ambrosia and I did my part with sausage stuffing and pumpkin pie for dessert. It was so good! I stuffed myself so that I could hardly finish my second plate, it was worth it though.
Mom and Dad came down and all of the kids were home which is nice for a change. I ate two big plate fulls and could hardly finish the second. I still had room for dessert after a little while though.
I guess that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. It is the first time of the year that we sit down with family and have a big turkey dinner. It's a special time for me, not because my birthday is always close but the family time is important to me -- and so is the food!
