What A Wonderful Thanksgiving

I was happy to not have to rush around on Thanksgiving morning as all the pies where done but one. The Turkey only had to cook for 2 1/2 hrs so that meant I didn't have to put it in until 1 pm since my grandson wasn't getting off work until 3.

Some of my grand kids came around 2 to visit before they had to leave for work. But it was so nice to meet my granddaughter Alexis's  girl friend and to see my grandson Jason it has been such a long time, they are my son's children. Then my grandson Eric and his girlfriend came and brought a huge macaroni salad delish. Aliya came with them. We had so much food and everyone made something.

But it is a lot of work and if everyone hadn't jumped in to help I don't know if I would have been able to get it all together. Love my family.


Anthony was not happy that I took this while he was stuffing his face.

These are tamales a Mexican food made by Christian and her mom they were sooooo good. I haven't had them in years.


Yes we had 2 turkeys

We loaded up the boys with lots of left overs to take home since they have there own apts. And no they don't cook hahaha

My daughter later called me and said she didn't get any turkey. I thought she was going to split the container we sent home with Anthony. But she still had a turkey at home uncooked so maybe she made that one.

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving too.

I finally figured out how to get my pictures to where I can upload them now. I had just called my friend Tom my go to guy for photography and while we were talking I tried one more place and bingo it worked. I don't know why they make things more complicated each new Windows they come up with instead of more user friendly.

Good Night All

  1. Looks like an absolute feast! Your younger generation is a few years older than mine, who are still kids. I bet it makes a difference in how much they eat! Glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family. Nothing like it!

  2. Hi Gypsy,

    Yes they can sure eat and this is only about half of them. the rest ate somewhere else. And I have great grand kids but none of them were. My oldest grandson is 29 then they go down to 19 and greats are from 6yrs down to 10mths

  4. Hi Sondra,

    Yes we had quite the feast. Today pulled all the meat of the bones and made a nice pot of turkey soup and put a baggie full of turkey in the freezer for another pot of soup later on. they left one of those big bags of ice in my freezer and that didn't leave any room for much. My daughter will take that home tomorrow and some soup since I still have veggie and chicken soup squeezed in there from before. We will be having quite a cold spell moving in for about a week or more so all that soup will be nice.

  5. Looks like you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We used to but now kids and brands in several different states. My daughter #2 has pretty much taken over having holiday meals at her house with whoever can get together, and she's a great cook!
