Thanksgiving 2009





















We had our annual Thanksgiving in Deland. We are so lucky to have our family all there to celebrate with us year after year. This year was particularly special because it was Aliya's First Thanksgiving and Moms first Thanksgiving after being diagnosed with breast cancer. We have so very much to be thankful for this year. We also celebrated my birthday. I got some wonderful gifts and warm wishes. I love birthdays!
My favorite part of Thanksgiving, other than the amazing food, is our bonfire! They really had it roaring this year! Adam and Sean played the camp side music, George and Noah roasted marshmallows. We ate roasted chestnuts and s'mores....heaven on earth!
Things that remained the same-
2 turkeys, 1 oven and 1 fried
All the fixin's - coconut corn, stuffing, rice, sweet potato gazpacho, 24 hr fruit salad
bonfire

  1. Thanksgiving in DeLand is my favorite holiday I think. Iou captured it perfectly! I think it's funny that Aliya is between "oil temp going down" and "asparagus" lol. She should be at the top of that list. :)
