Snow Day

We got 8.5 inches of snow on our patio table. I have heard people in our area with measurements up to 10 inches, so I don't know the official reading, but we got some good snow! Out of school, out of work. We used our knee board and tube from our boat and went to the hill next to our house for some tubing and kneeboard sledding. Lots of fun!

It is in times like these when I am overwhelmed with just how wonderful my life is!

Cutting down the Christmas Tree

On Saturday we went to a tree farm to cut down our Christmas tree. I have never done that before so it was a nice experience to get to choose our own this year.

Back over the mountain home and we had a beautiful sunset.

Thanksgiving Meal

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Mine was wonderful. I didn't do much after cooking and eating, just enjoyed being home with my family. My husband fried two turkeys and I made sweet potato casserole, southern peas, corn, dressing, green bean casserole, and heated up some Sister Shubert rolls. We also had the pecan cheesecake pie that I posted about earlier. It was delicious.

Thanksgiving just isn't right without dressing. For non southerners it isn't stuffing or really the same as a stuffing mixture. Southern dressing is totally different and we wait all year for it. It is so good!

Fried to perfection! It was nice a moist and had such a good flavor.

Traditions….

What is Thanksgiving without

cranberries?

say we.

We have a well loved salad we have been making for years…14 years

Our oldest son has taken over making it

each Thanksgiving.

In our casa, each kidlet makes a part of the meal…Fun!

Part of the fun is pulling out the old recipes…this one was on the back of a calendar back in 1996…

where my writing lists piano lessons and holiday parties...

Your Thanksgiving traditions?

Share.
