Thanksgiving dinner at my Sister and BIL house tonight. Everything was perfect! Everyone cooked. Sissy made unreal soufflés, and award winning desserts. Andrea & Caryl made beets, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and a squash souffle. Shaldine made a beautiful fruit platter and brought the bird. A beautiful 24 pound turkey. I made my Dad's famous wild rice stuffing and some cranberry relish and Gma and Cousin Stacey brought wine. Everyone chipped in with the cooking. serving, and cleaning. Thank you Sistah and Bro for opening your home and hosting such a wonderful evening.

My little Sistah! Such a gourmand. What a hostess!

OK. Had to get the food pics outta the way first. You know how much I love the food! Here's a picture of the table and one of my Sissy's four beautiful centerpieces, with our Nana's tablecloth.

Now some pics of the peeps.

And of course, what would Thanksgiving be without a football game/nap afterwards?

The holiday was so nice! Great food. Great friends.

All that was missing was Mr. Gorgeous and our parents, Les and Mel, who were up in NJ and Hubs' parents, Joanie and Dave, who are in Israel. You were very missed! Hope you enjoyed your holidays.

Today, as I ponder the meaning of this holiday and of all I am thankful for, many things come to mind, mostly you.

My family and friends. Thank you for being a part of my life.

I hope your day was blessed with many joys.
