Under One Roof



There's nothing I love more than having all of my family safe and sound under one roof, and that's what is going to happen today. My parents are coming this morning to help with our Thanksgiving Eve cooking and preparations for tomorrow, and our son from Tennessee will arrive early afternoon. Then late this afternoon, my daughter, son-in-law, and AVERY GRACE will be here. I've been up since 3:30 this morning, excited, ready for the day to begin, and making lists and checking them twice:

  • The yard has been mowed and edged [check]

  • Leaves picked up in the courtyard, and the patio furniture washed [check]

  • The dining room table is set, except for fresh flowers which I have to pick up this morning (I'll try to get a picture of it later).

  • The cornbread and chicken broth for the dressing are in the refrigerator, along with my Sweet Potato Casserole [check]

    And today, we will make the Ambrosia, which is a family tradition and BIG production. Don't you love family traditions?

    I hope your day is going to be filled with traditions and the laughter and love shared by a family ... all under one roof.

    P.S. ... I just came across this precious "Turkey Song" video and HAVE to share it with you. It's SO cute! Just click on the link and be sure your speakers are turned up. You'll love it!... Turkey Song.
