We should all be thankful every day, but its good to be really intentional about it as well 💜
When we went around the table today, the kids were thankful for a host of things ranging from family togetherness to gravy. Each thing was entirely valid and something worthy of thanks.
We kept the day very simple and relaxed. Snacky lunch. Supper of ham, potatoes, and carrots that have all been gifted to us this season. My mom did pretty much all of the cooking, plus she made gravy. And a jello. Twice. Because a baby knocked it over and broke everything 😭 HATED that. We finished off with pumpkin pie and whipped cream from a loving neighbour.
Its really hard to look at our life and feel sorry for ourselves. I know so many don’t have the support we have. It is undeniable, though. When the water gets deep, we have so many around us who are eager to pull us up and limp us to where we need to be.
No food picture this year. No group picture. But I can show you this picture from lunch in hope it gives you a giggle.
Squidward, charcuterie style.
Complicated thanksgiving, everyone! 💜
