Thanksgiving Day 2021!

I drove down on Thursday morning to meet the fam for a lovely Thanksgiving Day! ❤

 

 

We started with lunch reservations at a surprisingly crowded Salt Grass Steakhouse... fun and tasty!  (And always makes me think of JEM being a waiter there.)

Jace commented about the guys in this painting being Dad, Bill, Bill, and Rick, so Dad had to text them about that. lol

The Miss K on Thanksgiving 2014 and Thanksgiving 2021!

After lunch, we met JoBug and Babah at Babah's house.  She's getting ready to put it up for sale, so we were starting to sort through stuff, and I got ALL THE PICTURES to scan in over the next few weeks!  It's a treasure trove that I'll definitely write more about later.  (It was a little bittersweet, but not nearly as emotional/sad as I'd anticipated to be there sorting through some of their old stuff.  Babah got to tell some good stories, and we were all together and laughed a lot about certain memories and pictures, so that kept the mood a lot lighter.)

Jace found this hat then grabbed their broom to complete the witch look! lol

The picture covering their downstairs window is toddler me in my cap and sunglasses!

I remember this little piano book... and it made me very happy to see the note they wrote me in 1985! ❤❤

 

 

Around 4:30, we came back to Mom and Dad's, and Kyndal Faith helped make some whipped cream for us! =)

 

 

Which could go along with my peach cobbler... or be eaten by itself!

 

 

 Jace grabbed a cowboy hat and talked about wanting to buy some cowboy boots on Black Friday...

We had lasagna for dinner... then I suggested we all say a couple things we're thankful for, and that became a longer conversation than I'd expected as the kids kept thinking of more things, which was delightful!  Then Kyndal suggested we all say our favorite Bible verse, which was another great talk!  And then we played several rounds of charades and HeadsUp, which was super fun for everyone now that they're all at ages where they can read and act things out and guess the clues!  Finally, we got a couple family pics using T-man's Apple Watch... we realized Dad was totally covered in this one, so we stood up and got the one at the top of this post, which I love! ❤❤  Hope you had a happy Thanksgiving, friends!!

 

 

I took an excessive amount of photos this weekend, so there are a few more posts coming your way!
