Thanksgiving has ALWAYS been my favorite meal of the year.  I don’t know why, but I feel we are MEANT to eat and give thanks on Thanksgiving.  Even if we have the same food for Christmas (which we don’t do anymore), it’s not the same.  Probably because of the chaos leading up to Christmas – I’m not in the mood to cook a huge meal and I don’t want to be stuffed when I need to be playing with my gifts!!!

At my MIL’s Thanksgiving table this year, we were blessed with great company:

• My MIL
• My SIL, her fiance and her two kids
• A couple of winter Texan friends of my MIL’s
• Our Pastor and his wife
• My third foster mother
• My family of six

I am blessed.

AND there were leftovers!
