Thanksgiving Weekend.............

A few day's before Thanksgiving we headed over to my mom's house to make some stuffing for the local senior center and to help her prepare for Thanksgiving.  Below is Ashley's pics of some fall things at my moms house. :)



Two days later we went back for the feast. :)

Dad putting side dishes in the oven. I believe we had 11 different sides.. As a matter of fact I only ate sides, no turkey or ham! :)


Sweet potatoes were awesome!!! :)

Ashley's homemade bread!
Broccoli Casserole!!!

Full Adult table! :)
IT was a beautiful day, so we let the kids eat outside on the deck, since there was 12 of them! :) Below is mom's dog being very bad, he searched the kids table for scraps! :)
Dessert time!!! See the gorgeous little girl, I think she ate a whole apple pie! ;)

 


We had one minor catastrophe, my parents had made two turkeys, one the previous night and cut it all up, laid in a Pyrex dish to re-heat , when they put it in the oven about 10 mins later we heard a loud pop, and smoke started pouring out of the oven. The dish had shattered... of course we documented this.. :)

We had a wonderful time filled with family and friends.








On Friday we basically all laid around in a post thanksgiving coma, except for Ashley who went out black Friday shopping until 3am! :)

While alot of us were enjoying our Thanksgiving~ One of our family members was doing something even better. She was in the hospital giving birth!! :)  Now that's something to be Thankful for!!


On Saturday Hubby with the boys went out on his cousins boat to catch some fish!!! :)
New York Skyline from the boat. :)
 First Stripper catch, but just a hair to small to keep!
 Matt's first catch! A Sand shark!
 Everyone taking a turn feeling how soft the sand shark is!
The girls and I all stayed home and dug our Christmas decorations! Slowly the house is coming together for Christmas! :)

Hope your Thanksgiving was just as blessed! :)

From Our Home to Yours~~
Blessings~~~~~~~~

Cool Temps = Warm Meals

Image
  One of my favorite things to do on a cold crisp day is cooking and baking. Something about the smell of onions, carrots, and celery sauteing up brings a sense of home. And remind me powerfully of my grandmother. The memories of being in her home and feeling her love are all tied to food, where she spent the bulk of her time. Preparing nourishing meals for her family.  When we take the time to prepare meals, we show love to our family. Tonight, I made a Potatoe, Bacon, Cheddar, and Good Ol' Fashion Chicken Noodle.

Hubby was in an accident....

Proverbs 31 11 Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value. 12 She brings him good, not harm, all the days of her life. The blaring ring of the phone woke me on Tuesday morning... 7:15am... I knew as soon as I looked at the clock, something was wrong. No one calls here that early.. I quickly peel a child out of my arms and trying to not wake her, before the phone does. She had a restless night. "hello" in a whisper.. as I was still in my bedroom. Walking out of my room, I hear my darling hubbys nervous voice, "I was in an accident" Me, "Are you ok"... Him, "yes" Me" do you need me to come?" Him, "no, I'll call you" He explained what happened. His company truck was pretty messed up, and the air bags went off. He said he had some airbag burn, felt ok, just stressed. Next call I got was from him in the police car, the officer was kind enough to drop him off at work. The convers

Home Love Hammock Style

Image
This lovely gift was a 21st wedding anniversary present from my lovely husband.  I absolutely love this thing.. For many reasons...  My hammock brings me peace.   Why??  Because I love to be outside and be in nature.   So everyday weather and schedule permitting I try and get on my hammock.  It's bring me closer to my children.  They will see me out there and come out and lay with me on it.  From my 17 year old on down to my 5 year old.  My 17 year old and I have had the best chats just laying and swinging on that thing.  My youngest daughters 13, and soon to be 10 will bring their books out and  just veg and read with me.  My 5 year old will crawl up on that and just snuggle and chat with me, eventually giving way to the peacefulness of outside and fall asleep in my arms. My grandbabies will cuddle with grammy  and let me read or just hold them.  I have even had my best girlfriends come over and join me on that thing and we are able to relax and fr
