Every year, I am so so thankful God has given Mr. Sweet and I
another sweet Thanksgiving day with our family.
We were blessed to have 13 around our table this year...
it was sooo good to have them here...
(pardon the glare from the doors and windows...we had a 1:00 luncheon
as they had other people they loved to spend evening with
and the sun was bright and pouring into the doors and windows..)

We had a smoked turkey this year that was the best I've ever eaten...
and a ham that COULD have been better...
just not as much flavor as hams we've had before.
Cranberry Sauce and Relish
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Cornbread Dressing and Gravy
Deviled Eggs
Hot Rolls
Pies and Cakes...
so much food....
4 beauties...

So glad to have our sweet BROOKS with us again this Thanksgiving.
He is on his way to Lake Tahoe Ski Resort in Calif. to
take the job of snowboard instructor...
so proud of him and pray for a safe trip, a fun time and to get back
home to us at the end of ski season SAFELY.

I love your family almost as much as I love my own. I see you have one 'cellphonegirl' in the group! lol We might have one of those ourselves.
ReplyDeleteYour FEAST looks great and I am so happy that Brooks was able to be there. He LOOKS like a snowboarder, doesn't he? Bet he will be a great instructor.
Now- ON TO CHRISTMAS!!!!! Love to you- xo Diana
Hello, BJ you have a lovely family. Beautiful grandchildren. The thanksgiving dinner looks delicious. You are blessed. Happy Sunday, enjoy your day and the week ahead!
ReplyDeleteYour family is gorgeous -- and I have to say you do the best food styling photos on the Internet! Yes, the WHOLE internet! So glad it was such a lovely day.
ReplyDeletehahhaaa....the WHOLE internet...no way, Jose....
DeleteWhat a lovely time with your sweet family!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a perfectly grand day!
ReplyDeleteYou look the sweetest!
I'm glad you'll had a good one
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful the world would be if there were more families like yours. You are truly blessed.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun time with a lot of amazing food! I've never heard that significance given to a wish bone before, or heard it called a pully bone either! Is this a Texas thing or your family's own tradition?
ReplyDeleteLovely. Simply Lovely. :)
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful to have your family around you on such a beautiful day. Bj your love for your family shines through in your post. I know you are so proud of each and everyone of them and I am so happy you had them close to hug on for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Oh, what a wonderful day you must have had together! My favorite picture is the one of you behind the counter smiling out over your dear family. Your love for them just shines in your eyes! They must feel so blessed to have you in their lives! God bless you all with many, many more happy gatherings such as the one you had here. :)
ReplyDeleteYes bj, you have a lot to be thankful for. Of course, you know that ... it shows in all that you do with and for them. I baked that cranberry/pecan pie too and like you, I liked my Mississippi Pecan Pie much better (no cranberries).
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Audrey Z.
Glad you and your lovely family had a great Thanksgiving. Now-on to Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBJ your family is beautiful. You are a blessed one, my dear. I especially like the photo of you and your daughter. Boy does she look like her Mama. ♥
ReplyDeleteGreat post. Glad you had a lovely time. Are you planning on cooking some beans with that ham?
ReplyDeleteI love ham! Have a great week.
I think 1:00pm is the perfect time for Thanksgiving meals! It looks like you had a great gathering with your family!
