A Time to Give Thanks

“If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough.” ~ Meister Eckhardt
Yesterday the kids, grandkids and my mom made it over to celebrate Thanksgiving Day. We shook tradition up a bit this year by serving Roland’s most wonderful Lasagna. Even to me.. the combo of Lasagna and pumpkin pie seemed a little far fetched.. but none-the-less, it went down very well. :-)
With the two grandbabies closing in on 10 months,you may well imagine the chaotic scene at the dinner table. Babies being fed in-between parents fork-fulls, spoons being banged to mimic drums, cries from the floor, little ones demanding more lap time, laughter and motion from all sides. I sometimes found it difficult to carry any particular conversation from beginning to end.. but what fun! I am sure the tone has now been set for any future family dinners. :-)
I was too busy to focus much time on picture taking … but I did land this one, which I rather like… the two babies sitting front and center with their great grandmother looking on while trying to catch some of the Blue Bomber football game on the TV.
This morning the pumpkin pie is history… but the gratitude lives on.

While the new family tradition of 4 generations gathering together sounds like a wonderful idea, I’m not so sure about the lasagna and pumpkin pie ;)

All I can say is that once you have eaten anything cooked by Ro, you will be delighted with whatever the menu entails!! 4 generations counting their shared blessings…priceless.

Sounds like you had a lovely day. We tried to break with tradition one year and had a mutiny on our hands from our children so it’s roast turkey for us every Thanksgiving.
