My heart is full of thanksgiving on this Day of Thanksgiving 2011.
My children that grew up in this house are here with their children.
What a joy…..what a blessing….. what a madhouse…..what fun!!!!
I’ve been getting lots of good help.
I woke up this morning to find Erin ,Loni, Claire and Cal scrubbing my ceramic tile kitchen floor. I thought the floor looked OK but you should see how much better they look now. I wonder if they would like to do the rest of the rooms that have tile floors????
Evan was a big help cleaning out my cabinets and emptying the dishwasher.
And of course, I have had endless help with the cooking.
Gracie, Evan, Davey and Emma……………….My first born, Lynell
Grampy shows the grandkiddos how to use his mom’s old food grinder to grind up the cranberries for the relish instead of using the food processor. They thought it was cool. Even Calan could make it work.
Mindy got one turkey into the smoker…
and Lynell and I put one into the oven…
They say that too many cooks spoil the broth…
…But I’m not worried about it. I love cooking with my precious girls and grandgirls.
Claire and Lonica have dressed up my everyday chairs ….
…in their Thanksgiving outfits….
My girls made me sit down and rest while they are finishing up the last minute cooking and table setting.
My home is full of the wonderful smell of turkey cooking…. and laughter….and toys…. and kids…..and…
I couldn’t be happier. I feel so blessed and so thankful.
I am wishing you all, where ever you are, a wonderful day with much to be thankful for.
Hugs, Lura
