There have been government people telling us Americans to cancel Thanksgiving. To not gather in large groups. To not do your traditional Thanksgiving memories.
Yep...
that is the times we are in right now.
There are actual memes on Facebook that say:
Soooo....ya know...2020 has come with some crazy times and just days that plain stink. I have to say, I feel this day and time that everyone should realize that we for sure are not guaranteed tomorrow and should make those memories and have that family time but..{all while still keeping a distance and being safe}...it just hasnt been that easy these days...
We didnt get to have our normal 'big' Thanksgiving with everyone {LaLa, her crew, Pam, her crew, etc} but hopefully it will happen Christmas!
I didnt take many pictures...I didnt even think about it....but we enjoyed a yummy Cracker Barrel meal with Gran, Ben and Andrew last night for Thanksgiving. It was SO good! We sat around and chatted, 'hung out' {in Alexis' slang} before heading home to crash!
Then today was Thanksgiving! We enjoyed watching the Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC. It was just SOOOO crazy watching the parade knowing how NYC is right now. It just breaks my heart! I just love NYC and to know that it is basically a closed down deserted place just is horrible! Thankfully NYC still held the parade {pretty sure against NYC's governor choice} but it was just so different watching it this year! No huge crowd. No huge groups of people pulling the giant balloons along. Not university or high school bands. BUT...they made the best of it. Had local NYC action that participated. They had some balloons {flown/tied to trucks/trailers} Everyone shown had on masks. They social distanced and made the best out of the situation. Thankful that it was still something to bring happiness and some type of 'normalcy!'
We got cleaned up and ready and enjoyed eating at Nan and Pawpaws. Brandi and Ted's sister came to eat with us. It was good to catch up with them and eat Nan's good cooking. We spent the rest of the day at home just relaxing and enjoying the beautiful day it turned into!
I am SO thankful for my little family and though 2020 has brought some trying times, I am thankful for what good changes and down time it has allowed. There is always...always..always...something to be thankful for!
My 'pumpkin' cheese ball! Yeah....it needed a little longer to 'set' before making it into the 'pumpkin' so it looks a little flat....but hey, it was still delish! ha!
