Happy Thanksgiving! Every other year we switch off who's side of the family we have Thanksgiving with. I really like this plan, it cuts out having to jump from house to house and we spend the day relaxing with family rather then traveling. This year we spent Thanksgiving with my side of the family at my parents house. I must say that my mom is an incredible cook so Thanksgiving at her house is always delicious. My food assignment is always the same, sweet potatoes. I now rock at making them.In my family we have a joke that your food assignment is always based on how well you cook and you only move up to something harder to make once my mom trusts you with it. I started, like everyone else at one point, with the drink, then up to jello, up again to relish tray, and I have now been stuck on the sweet potato level for years. I'm trying not to take it personally and to be proud of myself for graduating to the sweet potato level, which hasn't been easy.
We celebrated Thanksgiving with the McCubbins and Hoovers (my moms sisters families). After dinner we played Charades, which was suppose to be a joke on my mom, by my dad since he was in charge of the family game. All the slips we were to act out all said "This is a joke on Terri, act out whatever you want and hand the slip back to me." We played several rounds before she found out, she was a good sport about it all.
I'm so thankful for my darling family, all of them. I love them to pieces and couldn't imagine life without them! Especially my parents, I truly lucked out getting them (they lucked out getting me as well) just kidding, but I do love them more then I would ever be able to let them know.
