"Thanksgiving Holiday"

"The turkey says, 'Gobble! Gobble!', and then we gobble it up!

...It's like it's saying, "Eat me! Eat me!'" -My Mother

Traditionally, my family stays at home, for Thanksgiving. (o˘‿˘ o)

We've ventured out to the West Coast for past Christmases, 

but Thanksgiving is always Utah time.ｏ♡

This time, last year, 

I was telling my Japanese children all about the 

food we make and eat on this day of gratitude. 

{They don't eat turkey, regularly, in Japan. Σ(щ꒪Д꒪щ;;)}

Has it already been that long? ...Holy cheese monkey. (⊙_⊙)

I am so grateful for my family（இ＿இ ）

and for the moments we are able to share together. 

It's such a miracle that they're mine.ｏ♡

{This isn't my plate -- it has squash, stuffing, and green beans. (ô_ô)}

Now! Whilst my siblings prance off to Black Friday, 

I'll hop on an early morning flight to Chicago. (ﾉ◉ヮ◉)ﾉ♥ Wee!
