Wow, what a weekend! I think I am going to need this whole week to get my house back in order. Does anyone else feel that way after Thanksgiving? Joking aside, I think this is one of my favorite holidays because it is centered around family and thankfulness. For Thanksgiving we have combination of relatives from mine and John's family. Many times we also have a few friends in the mix. Usually me or my mom cooks the turkey and dressing and everyone else brings a dish or two of their own. Would you believe that even though it is not coordinated, we have never had two people bring the same dish? This year my aunt brought the turkey and my mom made the dressing. (I didn't know what to do with myself.) I just love the casual atmosphere of our gathering. There is nothing like country living!
Thanksgiving in the country always includes...
...lots of family in the kitchen.
...plenty of food!
...a mandolin?
...a banjo?
...lots of beautiful music!
...cowgirl boots.
...and some very happy listeners.
And after the crowd leaves and the men head out to the deer stands, I spend a little time getting started on my Christmas decorating.
I hope your Thanksgiving was filled with as much love, food, and entertainment as mine. Now, lets all get ready for Christmas!
