I have spent the past 4 days with my daughter, literally almost every minute. I cannot think of a better way to spend these days. She will be all grown and on her own way too soon, and she is a source of pure joy to me. Wednesday afternoon we cleaned a bit and decorated the Christmas tree,
then completely pooped, we left the mess we made and went to bed. Thanksgiving morning, we made pumpkin pies together and watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I was so proud of my first homemade pie crusts that I asked Grace to take pictures.
And Grace made Oreo Balls – crushed Oreos, mixed with cream cheese, rolled in balls, and then dipped in melted white chocolate chips… yum!
Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. I think mine was the best in all my 42 years.
I’ll tell you in my next post about our Black Friday shopping – a first for the two of us, and well worth rolling out of bed at 1:30AM. Now it’s off to bed for the back to work after Thanksgiving Monday. Uuugh… But thankful for a job I love!

I am really glad you had a great holiday! You've never made piecrust before? Wow. I made the dough for eight crusts and put the patties in the freezer. That way it didn't take too long to do with all the other cooking I needed to do since I have my kids and grandkids out for several days. I am really busy cooking the whole time but still found time to play some games too. I went to Black Friday once and will never do so again! Cyber Monday found me busy though, lol.
