Another Thanksgiving is behind me. This is the first time in my 31 years that I did not join my family in Missouri for Thanksgiving. Honestly, I was pretty sad that I was going to miss out on this holiday with my entire family. This has always been on my favorites. I did get a chance to talk to a lot of them today which is nice. I guess it is something I should get used to since I won't be near family until the husband leaves the Navy.
Since this was our first Thanksgiving on our own, we decided to go casual. I made a turkey/stuffing casserole, green bean casserole, and mashed potatoes for Hannah. Pretty simple. I trimmed the tree with all its ornaments. I also hung Christmas lights on the deck. My house is now ready for Christmas. Hannah may have received her Christmas present today as well. We decided to get a play kitchen for her. I bought it last night to beat the Black Friday crowd, and we couldn't wait until Christmas for her to play with it. She loves it so far! I have a small gift she can open here plus whatever family members give her.
