Thanksgiving


This is a late Thanksgiving post, but I didn't want to skip it. We had such a nice Thanksgiving weekend, starting with Mass and then a coffee from Starbucks. My boss, Mike, had given me a $25 gift card! It was such a nice surprise!

In the afternoon, we went over to Mom and Dad Campbell's house which is always relaxing and fun. They made the turkey, and Christina and I split up the sides and desserts. Christina has a real talent for desserts and made this amazing pumpkin and ginger cheesecake. It was to die for. Sitting around the table with everyone made me realize how blessed I am to have married into this family. Joe was missing from the table, but he spent the holiday with the family of his roommate. We look forward to seeing him soon!

My mom and dad were in Dallas with my brother, Matt, his wife, Sayeda and her family. Can't wait to see some photos of the trip.

Joey, my mom and dad's dog, turned 14 on Thanksgiving! He got some extra kisses and some treats.

God has blessed me with a wonderful husband, fantastic family and friends, good health and a good job. Who could ask for more?

Yum, Starbucks gift cards are always good...although I have to say I do enjoy Bella and Global Bean now more! I am glad you guys had a good Thanksgiving....we were lucky enough to get one of those cheesecakes with our dinner Wednesday night before Thanksgiving from Christina!!! I need to make more cheesecakes for my hubby....he loves them, but I DO NOT NEED THEM!
