Scenes from Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day was a good, quiet one. I started my day with breakfast and then reading on the couch while sipping an iced coffee. Then, I went for a 15-minute walk outside and got ready for my day. Around noon, I drove over to my mom’s house where my stepdad was hard at work making our Thanksgiving meal. He did an amazing job!

My brother, sister-in-law, and nephews came over a little after 1pm and we soon sat down for our meal, which was so very delicious! I love Thanksgiving food so much. The rest of the afternoon was spent watching football, nibbling on dessert, and chit-chatting. We all left a little after 4pm. I read for a bit on the couch before take a nice lil post-Thanksgiving feast nap. Perfect!

And now it is Thanksgiving evening. I brought home some pumpkin bread, so I’ll likely heat up a slice while I watch the evening’s football game. I also need to work on my pre-cruise to-do list. There’s a lot I need to do before we leave on Sunday morning!

I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving, if you celebrate. If you don’t, I hope you had a lovely Thursday!

    Yay for great Thanksgiving events! It looks like a wonderful day and wow – I forgot you were leaving so soon on the cruise. How EXCITING!!!!
    Also – that blanket, iced coffee – with festive pillows in the background look SO festive. And of course the earrings are basically the best thing ever.

    Wow! What an awesome, low-key day. I am so envious of the people who don’t have to travel though multiple states on major holidays! I’m glad you had such a lovely time with your family – it looks like a wonderful time.

      I feel very grateful that I don’t have to travel for holidays. I imagine that is a very stressful experience!

    Sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Ours was pretty great, too, and the food was EXCELLENT! I also love Thanksgiving food. I hear of people who don’t like turkey and I think – you need to have a turkey made by my mom or brother. They have it down to a science and it always turns out amazing!

      I love turkey, too, but I probably need to try the turkey your mom/brother makes. Thanksgiving food is my favorite food!
