Our Thanksgiving 2022

Story of our life, right?

Tuesday, I spent a lot of time cleaning and doing laundry.

Wednesday, I prepped a lot of my food.

Made Gooey Butter Cake - a dessert I have been wanting to try out.

Making chicken noodle gravy.

Potatoes for Friday's meal.

Flowers still blooming on Thanksgiving Day.

Thanksgiving morning 2022 was chilly, wet, and foggy.

I didn't get a photo of Jack-11 and the Cisneros boys before they left the table.

Eric and I - 24 Thanksgivings together this year.

The girls stayed later after dinner and a few games. I relaxed after a few busy days and a busy morning. The two kitties hung out with me.

I also got to FaceTime with my oldest who didn't get to come home from college in Florida. Sometimes things can't always be "perfect" but it is about making the best of what you have.

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!
