It's Thanksgiving time again and we are grateful for the bounties of the earth that we enjoy as a family. We have so much to be thankful for. Good friends, great family, warm home, lots of food, clothes, cars that run...., good health and the list goes on and on......
Two years ago Birch and I went to Boston just before Thanksgiving and brought back these little pilgrim hats for our little pilgrims! We are sure thankful for our Grandchildren.
Last Thanksgiving we were all together in Minnesota. Great memories! This year, we are all spread out....Jason is having dinner with friends in NYC. I am jealous that he can go to the Macy's Parade! Jolyn, Daniel and Dylan are cooking dinner at their house with Daniel's mom in Florida. Jana, Tony and Kade are in Boise ID, having Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa Holt and family. Jeff, Annette, Vincent, Birch and I are going to Julie and Cameron's house for dinner. It's strange not having to cook a turkey here at our house! Maybe I'll get use to this! (maybe not!)
I spent one day this week on the new Family Search website, tracing my ancestor lines back to the Mayflower. (with some help from Mom!) I am thankful for Elizabeth Tilley and John Howland who left England and traveled across the ocean, landed in Plymouth, MA so we can enjoy the freedom of America. We have been blessed with a rich heritage.
The pies are made, (it's tradition in our house for the cook to taste the pecan pie the night before Thanksgiving......) Yummy!!! And we are ready for the big day of football, family, friends and food! Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!

Happy Thanksgiving. It's such an amazing time of year and you hit it right on the nose. We truly are all so blessed to have all that we have. Hope you guys have a great DAY!
Happy Thanksgiving to you too! I hope you and your family had a great day and continue to have a wonderful weekend. It is nice that you have that family picture from last year, what a beautiful family!
I too am jealous of Jason being able to go to the parade. Someday I'm gonna be there!!!
Tell Jason that we all want to come to his house for Thanksgiving next year! Hope everyone had enough turkey and pie!
We had fun at Patti & Kerry's house for Thanksgiving this year. We played a "thankful for...." game and Dad had the best one. He drew mom hooked up to a dialysis machine! We are all grateful that mom can have dialysis! (sp?)
Life changes are exciting. Traditions are also exciting. Looks like you are finding joy in both. Isn't family just the best?!?!!!
