Happy Thanksgiving!

This year Dad decided it was going to be a stay at home Thanksgiving with just the five of us.  It was not going to be the normal tradition, but rather, the every 3-5 year tradition of a Southwest - Tex-Mex Thanksgiving.  We had a very nice day with a feast!  We relaxed and watched the NCIS marathon.

The kindness of the day was adding a little bit to the menu to keep that annual tradition.  We decided on cheesecake and ice cream for our dessert.  Becca made the pumpkin pie for Chuck and I made the mincemeat for Charles - after all that is something that has been present at every Thanksgiving meal.  The one other added kindness was making our sour cream potatoes - it is a favorite - and made available for our supper meal.  It was a very nice and cozy holiday to remember all the many wonderful  people and things we have to be thankful for - we have been blessed!
