Are you really going to have a second Thanksgiving?
Yes we are and we did!
I will tell you this....it was almost better the second time around!
On Saturday, we fired up the turkey fryer and began the second process of frying a turkey!
I am so glad I snapped this beautiful picture on Saturday of the greenbelt, because today,
the leaves are almost gone.
We can thank our master family chef for changing up the recipe on the turkey, as we agreed, it was one of the best tasting turkey's we ever had! He used a garlic herb marinade, along with a rub of liquid smoke and Worcestershire sauce! Oh my......it was totally divine!!
Rob was home and all was right with the world!
Man's work!
I think it's obvious.....I am over the moon happy having my youngest home!
"Let's do a selfie Robbie"......laughing as we snapped about eight selfies....
Well Mama....you pulled it off....two Thanksgivings back to back!
Congratulations!
A blessed dinner
Beautiful Bo.......I think even BoBo was beginning to need a nap after all the activities!
What a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving we were granted this year!
Meanwhile down in Horseshoe Bay near Austin, Cat's family was gathering for their Thanksgiving!
I know how happy they are to see more family and enjoy the beautiful weather we had this weekend!
Our sweet and beautiful girls....Cat and Miss Abbie
Caden had visited his uncle and family for Thanksgiving this year and was finally home on Saturday!
Looks like the boys are happy being reunited once again over in Atlanta!
Miss M requested that I please publish my cranberry bread recipe!
I have made this for years and it's my go-to recipe! Lovely served with orange cream cheese!

Oh sigh, you are a magnificent cook and hostess. It must be in the genes. Says she, who didn't get said genes. ,-))))))
ReplyDeleteAnd you have a beautiful family. Be so grateful that your beautiful family is so happy to pose for photos. I have a beautiful family, but not all are happy with my picture taking. Bahhh-humbug... ,-)
Oh your recipe sounds yummy! So much better than a "quick bread mix." ,-))))) Oh I know! You want to tell me to wash-my-keyboard-off-with-soap! For even _mentioning_ a "quick bread mix," on your blog!!!! -giggles-
