Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanksgiving was small & really low-key for our family this year. Kristin's in-laws were in town for a wedding so they had Thanksgiving with them. And, Ashlee's family went up to Greg's sisters house in Grace, Idaho. (Actually, Ashlee ended up staying home with a sick kiddo, but the rest of her family headed up there.) So, for our Thanksgiving dinner, it was just my parents & us. That didn't stop Nana from making waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much food--like usual. I guess some things never change. I told her that I thought we should just keep it simple & do just basics. She agreed, and then we ended up with all of this...
Yes, that is her idea of a simple Thanksgiving meal! She cracks me up. That picture doesn't even include my Dad's famous appetizer hot spicy tomato drink, which I love...and it doesn't include the pies either. Of course, there was tons of leftovers.
Here's our little group around the table. Poppy & Viv were there too. Poppy was the one taking the picture & Vivvie was sound asleep...
After dinner was over, I had to go into work to do the evening shows. Not exactly ideal, but I did get to spend most the day with my family before it was time to go into work. Then, I got to go eat another Thanksgiving dinner once I got there--this time with my KUTV family. Double Thanksgiving dinners = Double bonus! Channel 2 is always really great about catering food in for those of us that have to work the big holidays. It makes working on holidays just a little bit easier.
After I left for work, Nana, Poppy, Mike & all the kiddos went to the movies to see the latest Disney movie...
It was a big hit with all of them. But, how could it not be? The whole movie is about video games! So, for this family full of video game lovers, it was great!
After the movie, it was back to Nana & Poppy's house for pie, and then the fam headed home. It was a very simple--but still great--Thanksgiving!
I love this holiday & time of year. It's so great to take time out of our busy lives to really appreciate the wonderful blessings we all have been given. This year, I am--of course--so grateful for my family. I have a fabulous husband, great kids, wonderful parents and awesome sisters! Every single one of them are happy & healthy. I'm also grateful that Mike & I both have jobs that we love. In this economy, that's something we don't take lightly. I'm also so thankful to have the gospel in my life. It brings me peace everyday. And, I am most grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ. I am grateful for his love, sacrifice & example. I hope that, someday, I can be more like Him. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, full of food, family & fun! --Lindsay
