Day of Thanks
Our Thanksgiving was wonderful and of course a day full of thanks and delicious food. It was nice to be home and receive much needed one-on-one time with my Mom!
At the Parslow household, Thanksgiving is a small and simple celebration. The boys go out and enjoy 'Guy Time' which consists of shooting guns and driving around in foothills. While the boys are out of the way, the girls get to talk about EVERYTHING, make delicious food, and look through magazines for holiday decoration ideas. The food is the usual Thanksgiving feast along with my special appetizer. I have made these appetizers since I was eight (or sometime around then). The special treat is made with three main ingredients, sharp cheddar cheese, dill pickles, and black olives. Cut into small pieces and stack one of each onto a toothpick. Nothing to strenuous. I'm not sure how this tradition started. My guess is when I was younger and wanted to help with the feast, my Mom gave me this to stay out of her hair while she cooked the food. It's never a complete Thanksgiving without my treat!

Looks like you guys had a great time! I'm sad I missed the "What Not to Wear Marathon," I LOVE that show!
It sounds like a blast but I have to say we missed you! I can't wait to see you two at Christmas.
