Happy Thanksgiving!!

 At first, I wasn't planning to do Thanksgiving at all this year.  My sister, Robin, is going to move to Utah so that we can provide more support to her and we were first planning to move her this past week.  However, the needed paperwork didn't get completed so now we are shooting for the week after Christmas. When that was finally settled, I invited Jessica and Elessia and family to come for a simple meal and to attend the movie Zootopia 2.  Our seats were a bit close because I reserved them just a few weeks before the holiday, but it was a fun show. Ben came with us which is always a nice bonus.

My simple dinner got a bit bigger than originally planned, but we are enjoying the leftovers including my favorite turkey dressing casserole which we had for dinner today.  I only cooked a small turkey breast and a ham since most people prefer ham.  One year, I will do the whole thing again.  I don't want the grandkids to grow up and say that I never cooked them a Thanksgiving turkey. :0

We started off with a movie at the AMC Layton Hills Theatre--Zootopia 2 which was enjoyable (and definitely had a political comment to make about "Othering".) 

Carter and Jessica are the smart ones--to bring a blanket to the theatre.  It was cold.




Always great to have Ben join us.
We then headed home for dinner.  It made for a late night and we will definitely look to get earlier movie tickets next year.

The J/E grandkids got to eat at our new kitchen table while the grownups sat in the dining room--except for Ben who wanted to sit with the nieces and nephews.

I forgot until the next day that I didn't even offer to send leftovers home with Jessica, so that meant we were able to enjoy leftovers all weekend long including my favorite turkey dressing casserole on Sunday--yummy.

We had a jar where we put the lists of things we are grateful for--Top One this year-- FAMILY!! Wish we could have all been together this year like last year, but looking forward to gathering in June for the Hall Reunion.

Happy Thanksgiving 2025!!!
