Thanksgiving

Our tradition has always been that I cook Thanksgiving dinner for all of my in-laws (about 20). The only member of my family to come over was my father (my mother is deceased). Well, now that both my mother-in-law and my father have also passed away, I have started a new tradition--going away with just my husband and our two sons! Last year we went to the Poconos, and this year we really splurged--we went to Aruba! I have to say I REALLY like this new tradition and plan on continuing it every year we can! And I still make a small turkey for us when we get back from our adventures, so the kids still get their turkey. Your T-day celebration sounds great too-very similar to how we spent Thanksgiving growing up. It's the holiday I miss my mom the most.

Sounds like a wonderful blessed family event. We had ours one week earlier than usual. It was so much fun to have the Thanksgiving aroma earlier and we had such a wonderful time the kids and I as we are truly Thankful to have one another and grateful for one another. I have thought about you from time to time and hoped that sales at the chocolate shop picked up.
