“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”~Elder Neal A. Maxwell~

Thanksgiving Mess
So, this year we did actually Thanksgiving Day by ourselves. The family we normally eat with, The Pugh's, had work conflicts on Thanksgiving Day and were instead eating on Saturday.
I decided to still do our own Thanksgiving meal, even though we would be going to their house on Saturday. I took these pics to remind me that I don't really want to do that again.
I've decided it's MUCH easier to share the meal (and the clean-up) with others. So, if it's at all possible I'm all about either going to someone else's for Thanksgiving or having them bring some of the meal to our house. But doing the whole thing on my own...not a fan.
Look at the carnage! My kitchen, which isn't big anyway, was a disaster!
However, the turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, stuffing, corn, rolls, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin pie cheesecake was delicious.
Just not delicious enough to spend that much time creating that big of a mess, to eat for 15 minutes.
But HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!
P.S. We do have so many things to be thankful for! We have had an incredible year. The gratitude to our Heavenly Father for all the blessings He has given us is expressed EVERYDAY in our home.
