Day of Thanks

Our day of thanks was filled with time spent with family.

A day filled with moments of reflection for everything we are thankful for.

I am thankful for my health.

I am thankful for my husband and our home.

I am thankful for my friends and family.

I am thankful to have a blessed life and to be surrounded by people and things I love.

Chris and I started our Thanksgiving celebration during lunch. We headed over to my sister’s house for a lunch feast.

I ate a light breakfast, so when lunch started around 1pm, I was ready for a feast.

I baked cheddar biscuits.

I made spinach salad with pecans, pear and cranberries.

I cooked green bean casserole.

I made sweet potato casserole with two different kind of toppings.

I baked snickerdoodle cookies and peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough.

I baked some more and made pumpkin nutella bread and oatmeal cookies.

I have been busy and having a lot of fun in the kitchen 🙂

My sister cooked noodles called pancit. It’s a traditional filipino dish.

And last but not least, a very tasty and juicy turkey. Don’t let the burnt skin fooled you, the insides is what counts right?

Guess who is eating solid foods now? My nephew Jonah is 8 months old and this is his first Thanksgiving day. He ate pureed food for lunch. He has made our Thanksgiving day celebration such a joy. It’s so fun and special to have my nephew around.

We had a great time talking and eating.

After our lunch feast, we took family pictures.

My sister,  my mom and me.

I hope you had a wonderful day and if you celebrated Thanksgiving, hope it was fun and memorable time.

Are you going to shop tomorrow on Black Friday? What’s the best bargain/sale items available in your area?

On our way home tonight, we saw people lining up outside Target stores. Crazy shoppers! I hope they get what they want when the store finally opens.
