Happy Thanksgiving! First of all I am so blessed and thankful for so many things...salvation, family, job, school, friends, breath, life, food, shelter, and the list goes on. I have also had such a wonderful day. Started with Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and Santa. Then we made our yummy mashed potatoes from French's recipe...the first recipe we tried was wrong but then we figured it out and it turned out great! Went over to our neighbors and Thanksgiving dinner and played Uno. Ok our neighbors are so great...we have known them for 19-21 years and each new year is exciting. Our first round of uno we played the version where if you don't have a card you draw until you get one, the game lasted a good 30 minutes to an hour I think. Then we played where you can play cards with the same number at any time, even if it isn't your turn. Boy did we have fun with that. Daddy was playing in such a way that we all fell apart laughing. I'm so thankful and happy to say I laughed until I cried! Some good conversation to catch up and a picture to finish off the afternoon. Ran to Bi-lo which I'm happy to say was closed and had to find dad some tea at CVS. To the cashier who helped me, I'm glad I was able to get my dad tea and am sorry you had to work on this day, I hope that the other customers and myself somehow brought some sunshine to your day. The night is coming to a close with leftover mashed potatoes and apple pie by dad and em! MMmmmm, doesn't get much better than that. Oh and did I mention we are about to watch While You Were Sleeping?
