This Thanksgiving was especially wonderful because we had our cousin Rashelle and you many, many in-laws to spend it with. There were about 35 of us sharing the holiday together. I have missed that so much since I've moved to Oregon. It felt like being back in California with all of my cousins. I loved it! It's so amazing how my husbands cousins husbands family has taken us on as one of their own.
Now, let's talk about the food. Yummy! The turkey was moist, there was lots of ham (my favorite) and so many different side dishes. And about 30 pounds of mashed potatoes! There were lots left over and not because they didn't taste good. They were delicious. Everyone loved the Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cheesecake. But, to my surprise my favorite dish, along with many others, was the Brussel Sprouts! We just can't get enough of them. Thanks Tod! I added a little blue cheese to them at the end and it really kicked them up a notch. Mmmm. I need to make more. They are definitely on the list for next year.
There is so much to be thankful for this year. We are all healthy. The girls are doing really well in school. Lewis started a new job the day before his old company was sold. I started working again. And people are actually reading my blog. Who would of thunk?
But the thing I am most grateful for this year, is that it's the first year since living here that I feel truly at home. I have the best group of friends and family here now. I feel like I've finally found my place here. And when Mamma's happy, everybody's happy!
I hope everyone had as wonderful of a Thanksgiving as we did.
