Thanksgiving Dinner

"Let us pray."
"Dear Lord, Thank you for this day we can spend as a family. Thank you for my granddaughters Abigail and Emily, and my daughter Jody and son David, and my wife. Be with those traveling today. We share gratitude for the food we are about to eat. Amen."
"Tuck in everyone!"
"Em, you can go first."
"Thanks Abby. You want a fork and spoon?"
"Sure. Thanks. Aw momma, are these sweet potatoes with marshmallows on the top?"
"Yeah hun, dig in!"
"Where are the rolls?"
"On the table."
"Can you pass me the butter?"
"And the cranberry sauce."
"Of course! What's this meal without cranberry sauce?"
"Calm down... here's your sauce."
"Gracias."
"De nada."
"Tu habla en espanol?"
"Si."
"Stop talking Spanish at the table with Nammy, Abigail, because I don't know what you're saying!"
"Fine."
"These green beans are great. Did you use a new seasoning?"
"I added some almonds."
"I like almonds."
"You like everything."
"Very true."
"Coffee, anybody?"
"Sure! Thanks."
"Here's the cream."
"Great meal, mommy, thank you so much!"
"Yeah honey, your best yet."
"Oh stop... now let's clean up."
"And then dessert?"
"Yeah, then dessert."

  1. You're making me hungry! Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday because it seems to begin the Christmas season. You have this great day with family and when it's over, still have another special holiday to anticipate.
