Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I love the ease of the day. It is the only holiday where your focus is to sit down and share a meal, simply, with friends and family. In my family we (meaning the women) divide up the dinner responsibilities so that it is not a burden on one person. For the last several years, my assignment has been to bake the pies. This year I made two apples, one pecan and one cheesecake, yum! I don't do pumpkin because my sister Mary always makes the yummiest pumpkin pies from scratch. I did make a strawberry topping for the cheesecake but left it on the side because some family members are allergic to strawberries.
All in all the day was quiet and relaxing. The only thing I would have different is time Matt had to spend with us. He worked the night before and had to work that night so he was only with us for an hour. We missed spending the day with him but are grateful for getting to eat all that yummy food together. After all, it is not a day that celebrates wants but celebrates gratefulness.

MMM...you pies look yummy. I love Thanksgiving because not only are you surrounded by the ones you love but you get an excuse to eat things you normally wouldn't.
