That sounds so lovely everyone!

It’s just my three boys living at home now. My daughter stopped by today to exchange gifts, but she’s spending the holidays working and with friends, so it’ll be just us this year. For Thanksgiving, it was nice having my parents and nieces over.

I’m keeping it traditional: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots, peas, yams, and dinner rolls.

For dessert, we had pie with vanilla ice cream.

My daughter baked cookies for the boys, and my dad brought over two tins of cookies that have been sitting on the table for weeks. I’m trying to stay away from sugar, so I made a bakery box full of treats for the boys and gave each of them one so I say out of it.

I also bought a meat, cheese, and cracker platter and will make a veggie and dip platter. It’s a perfect “girl dinner” for the next few days, or I might save it for New Year’s Eve. I haven’t decided yet!
