giving thanks

so much to be thankful for. so much in my life is full!

We began a new tradition this year, we hosted thanksgiving dinner at our house. my first bird, my first dessert making adventure, and the first opportunity to use all of the table finery that we have! :o) and Irish linen tablecloth, beautiful place settings, and carving tools. what a nice day!

it is by far, the favorite holiday here with this gal .... good food, laughter, family games, and no pressure! no gifts, no tension, none of the usual holiday balogny. just family, eating, and good times.

the kids were terrific, and thoroughly enjoyed the cousins here - despite an early rumor that the cousins wanted nothing to do with being at "an adult" party at auntie's - heh. I've always been the cool aunt, and certainly S id the cool uncle so, we came through again!

ahhhh .... now the let down, the afterburn, the fat belly in the stretch waist pants.

good stuff.

love the holiday season .... let it ring!
