Since I work now, even though it's only three days a week, it does throw off my schedule of planning and being able to gather all the groceries etc., in a timely manner. Time seems to fly by even faster since I less days to do home stuff. Anyways, it wasn't bad, I've been utilizing the Wal mart pick up and planning ahead better. I had everything bought and ready the week before. I prepped most of it the day before and by Thanksgiving, when everyone was showing up, things were just ready to pop into the oven. Pups were waiting by the door, ready for some peeps to come give them some lovins'!
We all got to chat and cook and even got to play a couple card games that Aunt Sissy and Uncle Danny brought. One was called "New Phone....Who dis?" It is silly and reads the funniest things.
Anyways, Billy said grace, we plated up-buffet style and dug in. The dinner and desserts were delicious, we all had a great dinner together and spent time chatting and playing games. Wayne, Regina and Amanda wanted to see everyone they could since Amanda was with them and hadn't seen any family in a long time. They headed out to go see some of Regina's family on Thanksgiving too. Danny and Diana hung out, messed with the dogs (even though Millie spilled Wayne's beer and Danny's coffee because she was so excited!) and had a really great visit.
It was a bummer that Stanley ended up not being able to come because of truck issues, we missed him and sent him a picture of all of us and he replied, "Ha, I didn't know it was a Halloween party!" That stinker!! We were very thankful for the food, family to share with and for all we have been blessed with. It was a Thanksgiving full of thanks.
