This year we were able to spend Thanksgiving together. So many families have their children living out of state and are unable to spend the holiday together. Since our daughter has been in the service, I can count a handful of times we were able to spend our Thanksgiving together.  i can tell you we really appreciate our time together.We had so much fun preparing our Thanksgiving dinner.

Ivie and Bailey helped me make the pumpkin pies. I make the crust from scratch from a recipe my grandmother gave me. I doubled the pie crust recipe, so we could make a separate crust with butter and cinnamon and sugar . This we baked separately, with no pie filing, just to eat. My grandmother use to make this when I was a child. Ivie and Bailey could not wait to eat the crust the made. I hate to think about how many calories I ate that day!

I hope you were able to spend time with your family
