Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow bloggers and to all of our friends and family who stop by to view our blog. We love you all so much and miss you more than you can imagine. We will be spending Thanksgiving with our wonderful friends Brandy, Nick, Abigail and Ethan and a few of their family members. We are so blessed to have them here to spend Thanksgiving with. But we miss our family so much and just wanted to let them know that even though we can't be there - we are thinking of them.
We are remembering the last Thanksgiving we spent there (last year) and praying that it won't be long before we can visit again. We sure do miss all of that wonderful southern Thanksgiving food - Aunt Jeanette's fresh creamed corn; Granny McNeal's dumplings, cornbread, dressing, etc; Aunt Teresa's baked cheesy apples; Mama's good 'ol mac-n-cheese, baked ham, sweet potato crunch and all that good stuff. And all of the yummy desserts that Tara and Kay-Kay cook along with the rest of the family (soooooo much food - it's almost sinful). If I listed it all here, it would take way too long, those are just some of my favorites! Oh, man, I'm making myself hungry.


Here are a few pictures from last Thanksgiving when we were there.

These pictures bring back memories for me too because while you were gone, Nana Barbara spent Thanksgiving with us. She made her mac-n-cheese and it was wonderful. We miss her greatly as well as all of you. Happy Holidays to Nana Barbara and the Gibbs Crew. We love you!
