I tend to over do the holidays. I over cook, over decorate and over stress. We live too far away from family to be able to celebrate with them and I feel guilty about that sometimes. I work myself into a tizzy making sure they enjoy the day and don’t miss anything.
This year, all I wanted for Thanksgiving was my son home from school and someone else to cook the turkey.
I got my wish. Charlie was able to drive in for the day and Jeff bought a deep fryer and made the turkey.
I still cooked way too much food and that is okay. We had a wonderful day together.
How was your Thanksgiving? Did you do anything special?

We had most of our family here and shared lots of food and conversation. We were going to start a tradition, but I failed to get it together…using a white tablecloth, have everyone sign one area for that year and add a note of something for which they are thankful…but I forgot to get the tablecloth I bought for this project out.
In any case, gandkids stay overnight on Wednesday and usually help me cook the desserts.
On Friday, I cooked another meal and took it to our daughter who couldn’t come. Saturday, I tried to rest!
