It's hard to get used to having grown children who serve and cleanup without even being asked to do so. It took me a few minutes to realize there wasn't really anything left for me to do but sit back and enjoy time visiting. That was a real first and one I liked!
It was so good to hear the banter and laughter as we sat around a table full of love and goodness.
We had turkey, ham, dressing, sweet potato casseroles, green bean casserole, hashbrown casserole, rolls, plaza bars, heavenly hash, pecan pie, chocolate pie, and key lime pie! It's a wonder we didn't all gain twenty pounds just looking at the food!
With everyone spread across the state, it's often hard to get everyone together, but we did pretty good this year.
Of course, we missed our parents who're no longer with us and we missed our Texas family members, but maybe next year we can manage a bigger gathering.
Hopefully your day was filled with blessings and lots of gratitude. Ours sure was!
