Today is the day!
Thanksgiving!
I pulled it off, and am so grateful!
We had good food, I set the table, and even put on a lovely dress.
This morning, Jane, Lottie, and Christian went to a Thanksgiving Barre3 class
at the studio while I took my sweet time getting up and out of bed.
I woke up to this:
Thank you, Angus, for taking the garbage out this morning.
Thank you, chickens, for assisting Angus with that event.
BARF!
Our 2025 Thanksgiving menu:
Veggie Stuffing
Sweet Potato Twice Baked with Marshmallow topping
Kale Salad with Pistachios
Fruit "Frog-eyed Salad"
Jane's delicious Rolls
Two Pies:
Chocolate Banana
Classic Pumpkin (Thanks, Costco!)
With whipped cream and classic Vanilla Ice Cream
Liquid Gold Hot Chocolate
Later in the evening, Gig's called from Slovakia,
and then I put my fat, swollen feet up
with Jane and Christian did the dishes.
I consider today another miracle from above, that I had the energy
and stamina to cook dinner.
And for almost three hours, I felt pretty normal.
Of course, I made our traditional turkey bread and charcuterie board
pre-dinner.
Umi sent me a photo of Ollie in Utah:
I sent her this photo of Lottie "asleep" with Kitty:
I am so thankful for my family, for Christian, for baby six,
for the many prayers on my behalf since this pregnancy
has been the hardest one I've ever had.
Grateful for America, for good food to eat, a house to live in,
warmth, and of course, the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ.
The End.
Only three more holidays to conquer before baby six!
