My "Couple of firsts" Thanksgiving Weekend in Pictures

The holiday season has become very complicated for me over the past few years. I have four adult children and three grand children. They all have their own schedules and lives. So the holidays are mostly about getting my schedule to fit into their schedules. This Thanksgiving all of my kids and grand kids were able to come to my house for a visit. Which has never happened before. They all couldn't stay for the big feast. Seeing all of them on the same day was enough. So that is my first "Thanksgiving First."

There were a few more. On Thanksgiving Day I tried pecan pie for the first time. It was pretty good. For some reason it was even better the next day chilled topped with cool whip. I also tried a new way to save the left over turkey. This year I carved and served half the turkey. Then let the other half totally cool down. When it was cool I separated the other half from the bone. Now I have a fully cooked whole turkey breast in my freezer.

Another first happened on Black Friday. I bought my first pre-lit Christmas Tree. It was only $69.00 so I wasn't expecting anything spectacular. Yesterday we put the tree up and it was very nice. Especially considering what I paid. My last first was putting out all of my Christmas decorations Thanksgiving Weekend. I usually wait until mid December. This year I decided early was better because my grand kids have been so excited about Christmas this year.

The best moment of this weekend happened when my grandson curled up next to me on the couch last night and we both fell asleep. We were both pretty tuckered out. I hope you enjoy the pictures below.
