Thanksgiving 2016

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.


English Pea with Peanuts Salad
Cranberry Sauce and Relish
Homemade Mac and Cheese
Cornbread Dressing and Gravy
Deviled Eggs
Hot Rolls
Pies and Cakes...
so much food....


4 beauties...


 ...handsome son, David


...cousin love


Our beautiful and sweet and talented and good cook and Mom,
daughter, Stacy


 Our newly engaged couple...
don't they look so good in love....


 Jent and Mr. Sweet, getting ready for DESSERT...


 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.


Can you see her beautiful blue eyes..?
Even with the glarey photos, those blue eyes shine.



Hi, David and Kathy


Deeds and Bryn, pulling the  pully bone (aka Wish Bone)
to see
who gets married first...






It broke right in the middle so they will have a double wedding...
ha



We did, indeed, have a blessed and fun THANKSGIVING.

XOXO, bj

  5. 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.
    Your 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.

  12. Looks 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?

  14. 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. :)

  15. Yes 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).
    Hugs,

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
