My Miss M is out of town. My mom had to work. So we are having a low key Thanksgiving. And after reading and getting a little inspiration from Kelle Hampton via Enjoying The Small Things, I picked up my matriarchal wand and I made that sucker work today. I decided to make traditions of our own for my little family. We woke up, watched the parade, ate cinnamon rolls, drank coffee, perused Black Friday ads and kicked off our low key Thanksgiving. We made a trip to the movie theater for an afternoon showing of Happy Feet Two. Made our way home for a wonderful dinner of homemade lasagna (my first go at it), spinach salads, and peanut butter cup crescents. It was delish. Now we are getting ready to watch Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas on tv. It was a perfect day, the kind to have on a day where we need to remember what we are thankful for. And, I have decided, it doesn't matter if it's just my little family or if there are 20 of us together at my moms - I'm thankful no matter where I am at or who I am with.
Still to come in my November Mini Series are my parents and my stepdaughter. So aside from what I have mentioned already that I'm thankful for here is a quick run down: Little Lady, Bug, my hubs, my parents, Miss M, family in general, my health, my home, my husbands job that allows me to stay at home with my girls, my husbands job that allows him to be at home with us every day, my little job at the outdoor store, our cars, our pets, my friends, basically my life in general.
