Thanksgiving Thankfulness

 

  

1. A favorite shot Rebekah captured today. This girl is a girl who loves the guys! Uh oh! Hee Hee Hee! She is so happy. even after 4 shots at the pediatricians office two days ago.  So thankful for iphones that take nice photos. Any phone for that matter!

2. Thankful for our Secret Santa this year. Zach was choosen to select two names for Hannah and Jake and show them the names when we facetimed them, kiddingly ( I am sure they were kidding)! They said eat those names Zach and he did swallowed them and washed them down with a tall cold glass of Florida OJ! No alcohol added! HaHaHa! We witnessed that and we were roaring with laughter.  Grateful for silly antics always and forever. 



3. Thankful for all the desserts! Key Lime Pie, Pumpkin Pie(s), Chocolate cream pie, Sweet potato Cake (Noelle baked from scratch) raspberry/strawberry jell-o with sour cream and Pecan Pie.

4. Thankful for my Floridian son-in-law Roger. He grumbles I don't like pumpkin or pecan and Noelle bakes a cake that tastes like pumpkin. Yuck maybe it was the frosting! He knows I know where he comes from, they are famously known for the Key Lime Pie. (wink wink). I don't let anyone down if I can help it! P.S. Cake was wonderful!

5. Thankful for a Hallmark silly movie and a cup of hot tea at day's end. What a concept. We might sneak a bite of the cake with our second bedtime cup. Shhhhh...please do not tell on us. Thankful.

6. Thankful the day was perfect, no arguing or meanness only sweet people coming in and out loving each other and enjoying each other's company. We are so grateful the day was amazing.

7. Thankful the grands and greats were here, 5 of them and we are able to see them so often. Grateful.

8. Thankful that although Hannah and Jake are across the miles some 2200 away we can Face Time. Grateful.

9. Thankful for a turkey who complied with our wishes to be wonderful. Cranberries homemade from scratch by Rebekah. Noelle's cake, my pie, all the dishes that were so wonderful. Rebekah always has a new recipe to try. She made cranberry brie bites with thyme in a delicate bite of pastry. YUM! 

10. Thankful for kids with such creative food menus. Zach, I was saving this one for last, YUM YUM YUM Candied Bacon with a Spicy flair. Rebekah is not a fan the rest of us are. B A C O N ! It is so beautiful!

This 2020 THANKSgiving  was  A M A Z I N G !

Nice Thanksgiving Day selfie and I could not get dog to take one with me but then he never has so why would he now and I couldn't even get the dog to get where I could sit by and take one either. Sounds like you had a wonderful day that's so glad you got to see all your family. The food all sounds delightful

I finished lunch not an hour ago, but now? Your mention of the Key Lime pie and Rebekah's brie bites has my imagination running in happy circles. Too funny about Zach swallowing those slips of paper!
I love your selfie. Tom and I did one, as well. Better than waiting for someone to offer to take our picture, right?
