This year, we did Thanksgiving a bit differently. \u00a0My mother had her entire family over to her house last Sunday with her siblings and family and my siblings. \u00a0It is always so fun and crazy with everyone around! \u00a0We have a large, loud and super fun family!! \u00a0Since we all gathered then, we all went our own separate ways this year for Thanksgiving Day. \u00a0I decided that I wanted to cook for our little family of four and stay home. \u00a0My mom had throat surgery on Wednesday at Duke and I wasn’t even sure if she would make it. \u00a0I planned on just Mel, the girls and I to spend the day together!<\/p>\n

Mary Clare and I woke up and cranked up the crock pots! \u00a0Did I mention that my oven control panel broke a couple of weeks ago? \u00a0I had to cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner without an oven! \u00a0 Gas top worked fine, just no oven!\u00a0 (So glad Paula Dean has great crock pot macaroni and cheese and potato casserole recipes! \u00a0YUM!)<\/p>\n

We actually slept in and skipped the Annual YMCA 5K Turkey Trot.\u00a0 The girls were able to enjoy the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade with no interruptions. We didn’t worry about getting up, getting dressed and rushing around! \u00a0It was wonderful!<\/p>\n

I even put the girls to work. \u00a0They made \u00a0Reese’s Peanut Butter bars for Daddy. \u00a0I made Key Lime pies for me. \u00a0I know, non-traditional, but it was my party! \u00a0I did buy a pecan pie and ice cream for some tradition!<\/em><\/p>\n

Nonnie was able to come over, although sore and tired from surgery. \u00a0She had craft hour with the girls while I was able to finish up. \u00a0They made turkey place cards for the table.<\/p>\n

Not bad for no oven, huh? \u00a0I ordered a cajun fried turkey and I grilled it at home to heat it up!<\/p>\n

I made way too much food and we all stuffed ourselves. \u00a0We had such a relaxing day and just spent it together, cooking, napping, eating, and just being together! \u00a0We truly have so much to be thankful for!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
