Thanksgiving & Black Friday...

Thanksgiving was amazing!!! We had so much family & food & friends at our house. Our grand daughter, Jaqulyn, spent the night Wen. & all day she & I baked. She (with a little from me) baked 2 pecan pies, a chocolate cake (it was her oldest brother's 17th birthday), & a cherry cheese cake. Thursday morning she & her Aunt Heather helped with the dressing, turkey, noodles, gravy & sweet potatoes, that is just was I fixed for dinner along with black olives & cranberry sauce. Others brought, mash potatoes, corn, rolls, ham, broccoli, green beans, cauliflower salad (that my oldest grandson made, yummy!),

The next day was Black Friday, we didn't get up as early as we have in the past, so we got to Wal-Mart about 6:15 and shopped, went and had breakfast then shopped more above is the fruit of our shopping!

When we got home we picked up more pecans, a few in the front yard but mostly in the back yard, just one bucketful, we are going to give those to Kendall's brother and his wife...we'll let them crack and pick the nuts, lol. Really, that is something I do enjoy during the evening, Kendall and I sitting at the card table with pecan all around us, with out heads down concentrating on picking each nut out of the shell, bits and pieces of shell all around out feet, lol.






After a couple of hours of raking leaves & bending over picking pecans off the ground we went out to eat, while we were at 'Ed Johnson's' it started to snow! I was so glad to get home and get warm I felt like I was chilled to the bone.

And that is how it was at our house Thanksgiving and Black Friday...2 wonderful, wonderful days with my sweetheart, Kendall, our family and friends.

I hope everyone is having a great holiday!


And now that Thanksgiving is over, I can now say...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
