Thanksgiving a little late.

 I took me long enough to blog about Thanksgiving day. That's what happens when you've got a bunch of posts scheduled ahead of time.

I woke up Thanksgiving day to snow. It was no surprise as there was a lake effect storm predicted. The forecast was saying 8-20 inches possible. Needless to say I was stressing over my drive to work the next day.


Amanda came over early and was in the kitchen cooking up a storm while I lounged on the couch watching the Macy's Thanksgiving parade. 


The highlight of the parade is always the arrival of Santa


The food was delicious and I ate way too much.

Gibbs had a little taste of dessert and ended up with it on his nose.


My son in law brought me a scratch off lottery ticket and I won $20


All in all a very nice day.

20 dollars is nice, but if I had to choose between SOMEONE ELSE Cooking in my kitchen and the 20 it would be the cook in my kitchen. wow would that be a gift.... the food looks delish, I would go for the rolls FirST

You had a win win day. Not only from the lottery ticket did you win, but just being able to have Amanda in the kitchen cooking for you was another Win.
