My favorite memory of Thanksgiving is eating at a large table with my grandparents.
My grandma would always make delicious dressing balls from her leftover buttermilk biscuits. I have since tried to duplicate her recipe, but it’s not the same without her delicious biscuits. I am thankful that my children can experience the family tradition although my grandparents have passed away long ago.
Faith, Family, and Friends. Relaxing and enjoying all three!
I love having my whole family here for dinner. I love the cooking and baking too!
APPLE & SAUSAGE STUFFING!! mmmm : )
Family, food, and making memories as we gather and give thanks for all we have.
I love the delicious food and reminding ourselves what we are grateful for.
I love the stuffing and seeing family that I have not seen since the last Thanksgiving!
I love the concentrated attention on gratefulness just before the gimme season…hopefully the one balances the other somewhat.
Thanksgiving break means that I can pull out my favorite lessons – Holidays Around the World! Geography and ELA all rolled together in a super engaging way for the students!
There is nothing better than being with loved ones.
