Well a late 'Happy Thanksgiving' post is here! I will just recap on how the day was. The Scotcharoo Drumsticks pictured were not only cute but a hit! I think this is a favorite of many and an all-time favorite of mine! It is a peanut butter rice krispy bar with a chocolate-butterscotch topping. Rich and wonderful. If you'll notice in the picture, the 'Turkey Tags' I made to add some fun to the Thanksgiving table. Here are a few of the sweet faces I got to spend Thanksgiving with.
Lunch was at Nelson's parents home and then everyone walked 3 blocks over to Amy's new house, for dessert. It was great seeing her and Daryn's new home-sweet-home, and all the progress that has been made! It was beautifully prepared.
The day was nice, especially with Lesley and the girls joining us, but we did miss Nelson and Luke. Luke was working as scheduled and Nelson, at last minute, worked the whole day as well. He is adjusting to a new job, working alot of hours, but doing a great job at everything! I am in admiration, daily, of his strength and ability. He does so well at so many things! I was reflecting on the days pre-Florida, and am so thankful for the friend he was to me. We had an interesting beginning. And it is without question that God himself was at work in our lives. Nelson chose me. And I am so thankful for that, for his friendship then and the husband he is to me now. What an inexpressible blessing he has been to me. I hope everyone's Thanksgiving day was a blessing!
