Thanksgiving!

I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with my family. It sucked that my boyfriend couldn't make it but I had a good time anyways. I went down to my Grandma's in Southern Ohio. She lives in the middle of nowhere, but I grew up down there so I love it! I cooked Wednesday night, Thursday, and had to drive home on Friday, so it was way too short, but I was very blessed that I got to go in the first place! We had everything! Turkey, Ham, Sweet Potato Casserole, Brussel Sprouts, Cheesy Potatoes, Mac n Cheese, Mashed Potatoes, Stuffing, Rolls, Broccoli Casserole, Gravey, Salad, Cranberry Sauce, a Cheeseball, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and that's not including the dessert! For dessert we had 4 Pumpkin Pies, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Date nut loaf, Cream pie, and my Great Grandmother's Chocolate Cake with homemade Butterscotch Icing! It is my favorite! Plus my gram made homemade whipping cream which made everything better!

I loved seeing my parents (who live in Virginia) and my one brother, David and his girlfriend Sarah. My other brother Dan and his girlfriend Lucy, went to Lucy's parents in Michigan so they didn't get down there until Friday aafter I had already left to go back home. I had to work on Friday. Boo!

We also did Christmas with my Gram while we were down there because she is going to Florida this year and we won't see her. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family who spoils me. I got lots of gift cards and some amazingly warm 50% Cashmere socks! They are the softest things ever! My grandma also got me some mittens that have threads in the point fingers and thumbs so that you can wear them and use a touch screen phone. Pretty smart, because it's starting to get FREEZING up here in the mitten and you have to wear gloves all the time.

So here are some pictures of my amazing weekend!

This is my amazing grandmother! I love her. She is truly a wonderful woman.

Pumpkin spice cheesecake! It was really good. I am gonna post the recipies next!

My daddy made fried egg sandwiches for breakfast! He puts swiss cheese on them, mustard, mayo on buttered toast .. I have always loved them and I hadn't had one in a long time. So it tasted even better!

My grammy's whipping cream .. delectable! I could just eat this!

We solved the riddle! The chicken crossed the road to come to my grandma's for Thanksgiving! This actually happened. The chicken lives across the road! lol

My baby cousin Bella, talking on an old phone of my grandma's. She is beautiful and sweet. I absolutely adore her.

This is the beautiful sunrise I saw driving home on Friday. It just made my heart swell. I love going down home and being in the country.

It was the prefect ending to a wonderful weekend. I have a great family and I love them very much. I am so thankful for everything I have!
