It’s been awhile since I’ve participated in Friend Makin’ Monday, but I had a few extra minutes this morning and the topic was a quick and easy one. Can you guess? Thanksgiving!!
Amber at {aefilkins} is hosting and had a list of questions for us today.
1. Turkey or Ham?
Usually just turkey ~ and the ham is for Christmas. But I just got a phone call and apparently we’re having both this year. :)
2. Favorite side dish.
Hands down sweet potato casserole. With marshmallows. And chopped up pecans….why we don’t have it more often is beyond me.
3. Favorite dessert.
Pecan pie, but it’s not on the menu this year. Which is probably better for me anyway.
4. Black Friday: Are you going or not?
Absolutely not. I am not fond of crowds. Or fighting with people. Or getting up before the sun does. I try to get my shopping done over the course of the year.
5. If so, what's on the top of your list?
Sleep.
6. Going out of town or staying close to home?
Very close to home ~ my dining room.
7. Hosting or helping?
Hosting and happy to do so!
8. Name one family tradition at Thanksgiving.
Lately we’ve been watching the parade with the kids since they are fascinated by it. I plan to sneak a few games in this year too!
9. What do you do after dinner?
Does recuperate count?
10. What are you most thankful for this year?
More of our family is nearby this year which is a HUGE blessing. Every day I am reminded more and more of all that God has blessed our family with ~ especially these four little kiddos!
Be sure to visit Amber to hang out and make some new friends!
