Choosing Joy Challenge: Another Thanksgiving Chapter

Welcome. How are you? How was your Thanksgiving weekend?

 

The Temple Thanksgiving book has another chapter written. One more year of memories have been made.

There was laughter on that day. Laughter that was turned into Joy. The turkey timer went off  when we discovered that Mr.Tom turkey was baked upside down. Don’t worry my superhero husband saved the day.

Corn pudding boiled over in the nicely clean oven as the guest arrived. opps…

Gourmet apples were brought by one of our guest. They dressed up the table with candles a~glow.

We gathered around and gave thanks.

We used our fancy silverware. All paper plates & plastic in all of it’s glory.

The food was delish. Too much was consumed.

All the mishaps in the kitchen really doesn’t matter. What matters most is all the laughter that our family had. The laughter that makes your stomach hurt and your eyes well up with tears. There may have even been an incident where pop went flying out the nose.

Sale ads were strung all around the room. The game plan was on, as to when and where we were heading out the door.

Shopping was done at a unusual hour. Thank goodness for hand warmers and hot cocoa.

Naps were taken.

Leftovers were eaten.

The Christmas movie marathon began.

One more year of a Temple Thanksgiving chapter was written.

One more year of leaving the beloved Thanksgiving day behind.

Hugs,
