Thanksgiving is filled with food, family and games in Mtn Home! We had the extra blessing of taking two U of O girls with us to Grandma's house! Gabi is from Mexico, and Liliam is from Honduras. Liliam is one of our host "daughters" and she was one of several who are traveling home for Christmas but not Thanksgiving. We had a great time playing games with them and sharing their sweet friendships with our family. Grandma headed up the kitchen (as usual) and Lauren, Sheridan and I got in on helping with cooking.
Gathering around the kitchen is the climax of the day! Turkey, ham, stuffing, gravy, green bean casserole, sweet green beans, crock pot corn, hashbrown casserole, sweet potato casserole, grape salad, jello salad, olive/pickle/celery tray and Sister Schubert's rolls. OH MY. Pecan and pumpkin pies for dessert. We have SO MUCH to be thankful for. It was a beautiful day and a great meal, it's always awesome to go home for the holidays.
The secret is out...Santa and Mrs Clause DO eat with us on Thanksgiving!
