15. Thankful Thanksgiving is over

I had a wonderful day today, but right now I am cuddled in my pajamas and ready to drop into bed from exhaustion. We double dipped our Thanksgiving today which means we ate with my family at 12:30 and Steve's family at 5:00. We hosted my family at our house this year and it was the first year my mom did not do the cooking. We divided our traditional meal up between my sister and I. My dad actually did the potatoes and I was so proud. I never realized how much work it takes to pull the whole thing together. I had to start on Wednesday afternoon. My favorite part is setting the table and making it look really special. My second favorite is my sister made my moms deviled egg recipe perfect, yummy!! My third is the generational pumpkin pie! The weather was very pleasant and I loved watching all the cousins play outside together on the tramp and make memories. All and all my goal was achieved of feeling peace and having all the food served on time and steaming hot. Mission accomplished and now I want to sleep for 24 hrs.
