This Weeks Questions: Gobble Gobble
1. Tell us about your family traditions for Thanksgiving
We don't have specific traditions for Thanksgiving except eat lots of food. We did however have Thanksgiving last year at our home and plan on doing the same thing this year. I think this will be our new little tradition. We normally eat later than most people {dinner time}, and one of our favorite things to eat on Thanksgiving is a deep fried turkey. Normally, Andrew's dad does the deep frying, but since they moved to Texas and won't be able to join us, the duty is now Andrew's. So we purchased him a deep fryer a month ago and he's got it all ready. I think it's the cutest thing ever. That and my mouth is watering just thinking about the actual turkey.
2. Tell us about your favorite foods
Would you be surprised if I started out by saying Fried Turkey? No? Okay, good. Because that definitely is one of my favorites. Next up would probably be the green bean casserole, the cranberry cream cheese spread, the potato casserole, ham, and pumpkin pie. I am seriously salivating just thinking about all these delicious things. Oh, and, how could I have forgotten the harvey salad. The big delicious green chunk of a dessert.
3. Show us a picture that reminds you of this holiday
Picture from last year's Thanksgiving where we had the best time.
4. Tell us, do you wait to decorate for Christmas before or after Thanksgiving?
Andrew has this crazy rule where we wait until after Thanksgiving. Last year, I was able to talk him into doing decorations a couple days before. This yea, I actually put up a few the week before, and the final tree and all the rest will probably be going up the day before! Still not set in stone yet. We may just have to wait until after.
5. Tell us what you are thankful for this year
There are so many things that I am thankful for. For one, I am thankful for my beautiful family, their health, love, and happiness. I am thankful for the home that we live in and that we are are able to meet our needs and our wants. I am thankful for our freedom. I am thankful to have a great career that allows me to be home with my children during the day. I am thankful for my in-laws and parents who have gone above and beyond these past couple of years. Our family in general. I am thankful for a healthy pregnancy and being blessed to be a mother of two.
Most of all, I am thankful that I am allowed the opportunity to be here today, and hopefully tomorrow, and many more years to come. To live this life and to share the world with my husband and children.

ReplyDeleteHi Becky! I'm joining in for the first time- love this idea! As you may notice on my link-up, I have a bit of a "newbie blogger handicap" and was not able to add your button to the html of my post. I even had my husband who is much more tech-savvy than I am help- but no luck. Anyway, just didn't want you to think I wasn't following the rules :-) I tried to re-create it in my own "ghetto" way by including your direct link below the saved photo of your button. I will get it right next time (I hope)!

ReplyDeleteHey Becky, is that last URL box supposed to create the link up logo? If so, I can never get it to work - it just shows up blank. Maybe I'm just having a blonde moment, but I wanted to mention it in case other people were having a problem as well!
ReplyDeleteI tried to use the "show and tell" link up button and it isnt working for me either. It doesnt show up on the post but does show in the HTML. I used the regular grab a button and it worked fine. Just thought I would post as well since it seems many others are having the same problem.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have some great thanksgiving traditions! this year is my first Thanksgiving and I'm excited - especially when it comes to trying all these new foods. Green bean casserole has me intrigued!!!
ReplyDelete"We don't have specific traditions for Thanksgiving except eat lots of food." You just summed up my family's Thanksgiving with your first sentence! haha, but I love that you all eat later and include your immediate family! Sounds more intimate that way. Hope it's great for you this year!
