The other frequent guest at our house was Number Two Son's girl. She's new...as in they made everything "official" this past week. They are "in a relationship" on Facebook, so it must be real...right? Seriously, she also seems to be a sweet girl with TONS of personality. We are still getting to know her, but she can hold her own as well.
Should I even talk about the food? It ranged from smoke salmon to country style steak and ham, green beans to broccoli salad, pumpkin and pecan pie to chocolate cake....all of it was delicious and I enjoyed EVERY bite...and then some.
And this year, something new happened. My mother-in-law came to my mother's house for dinner....this is the first time that I have had a Thanksgiving meal with both of them at the same table in the 20 years I've been married to this man of mine. I can see that a relationship is finally building between them, dare I say slowly but surely? I hope this is a preview of things to come. One can hope.
I'm off to catch up on some reading...seeing how everyone enjoyed their holiday. Thanks so much for your kind words last week and letting me vent. Sometimes all I have to do is get it off my chest and I feel better. Have a great Monday!!
sounds like you all had family-time----on steroids!!!! What a great gathering! (and the food sounded pretty yum as well. hope you had some leftovers, but with two boys----doubtful!)
ReplyDeleteHey Melissa.. it sounds like your family is growing and that the girls are nice! And that's awesome that both your moms were at the table at the same time.. good going all of you! Some day in the future you will be planning weddings.. then welcoming grandkids.. oh boy!

Wow two girlfriends over one holiday?! I think I would have overload. And yes, if it's on facebook it's official ;) Glad you had a good time with your family!!!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to meet two girlfriends this weekend, sounds like everyone had a great time.
ReplyDeleteWe often have my in laws and my parents over at the same time, I love that they all get along and know each other.
Wow! Two new girls to meet and hang out with? Sounds very busy, indeed! You will make a wonderful mother-in-law for some lucky ladies. ; )
ReplyDeleteYour family sounds like mine and the partner being brought home must posses certain qualities to make it. Sounds like she did just fine and is willing to try it again at Christmas.
ReplyDeleteOh I know loud and teasing... our family is full of love but an outsider might not be so sure with the amount of teasing and bantering back and forth. Sounds like a nice Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteGlad the holiday went well...you never know with new and different personalities, do you? But it sounds like those are a couple of great girls...and the food sounds yummy, too!
