Happily Homeschooling

A time of thanks

Thanksgiving is here already? Wow, how fast time goes by. I'm actually really excited about this Thanksgiving. This is the first time that we have been invited to someone else's house for dinner. Usually I have to work (the ER never closes) so that I can have Christmas off, so we just eat around my schedule. My mother-in-law doesn't cook and they most often say "we're not doing anything, just doing the best we can", so we don't travel the almost 4 hours to visit. We should and then I could cook and give them reasons to be thankful, but we don't. Anyways....we are all happy to be spending time with another family this year. Growing up everyone came to Nana's house to eat. We got there early and stayed late, sleeping on one of the many chairs, couches, or beds. I loved it. It was always an anticipated day because of that. I love the memories that I have and want my  kids to be able to have similar memories, although it just isn't like it was then. But that's o.k., our memories will be different but are sure to be fun. We always try to have a good day, no matter what. We're having fun baking today and trying new recipes. Yummy!

Well, have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone and God bless.
