First blessing counted for me was that all four of us were together today. It means more now that Kota was gone for awhile. We had a small meal with one of my favorites, homemade dinner rolls. My family usually makes Great Grandma Steigerwalt's recipe every year. It makes about 5 dozen rolls. I made a 1/2 batch. We had breakfast out of these rolls too. Mmmm!
Kyle brought a new tradition to me when we got married. Homemade whipping cream, I do not recall ever eating homemade whipped cream, before being married. I'm pretty sure I only remember Cool Whip.
With just the four of us I don't cook a big turkey, as we don't do well with leftovers. So we made a turkey breast and Kyle takes over the carving of the little piece of meat. It was so tender and juicy and delicious!
I only caught a picture of Kayla before putting the camera down and getting the final touches together.
Kyle filled the bird feeder twice today so even the birds had a Thanksgiving feast. We enjoy watching the local birds coming around and visiting the backyard feeder.
It was a nice, quiet day at our house. Just what I needed.
Looks like you had a nice day with your crew. I was raised with Cool Whip too, and must confess that I have a strong preference for it now. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Crawfords had a great Thanksgiving too! I love homemade whipcream...so much better than cool whip! Enjoy the weekend and I'm thankful we're friends and blog buddies!
