Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving...definitely has grown to be one of my favorite holidays of the year. Our plans? Edgar is coming home from Penn State for the holiday. Mikey will be hanging out at home. Mom will be setting the dining table. Dad will be cooking our traditional Thanksgiving dinner...roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, homemade cranberry sauce, peas with melted butter, rolls, salad, and of course, the rice. (Can't forget the Filipino influence here!) Unlike the past few years, Thanksgiving has always been a 50/50 holiday, but this year, Hassan and I will be spending this Thanksgiving with my family 100%!!! We will be taking Murry with us to my parents house...he's apart of the family too! This year, I will be trying out a sweet potato dish from the Food Network. I'm not crazy about sweet potatoes, but when I saw this dish, it made me think twice.

For me Thanksgiving is not just the generic "Be Thankful" holiday, but a time to thank others and treat one another with kindness. The commerical below reminds me of my own philosophy...always look out for others and someone will look out for you. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
