My first time at Neighborhood Jam. Everything was so good. Love the fancy cream work! 

Hanging with Coty, Haley, Cherrie and kids. Today is Cotys birthday and we came up to spend time with him. 

Celebrating Hattie’s 3rd birthday. She is such a sweet girl. 

Luther always makes a great salad for us. 

Meatloaf, mash potatoes and mixed vegetables is a great comfort dinner.  Am thankful that Mr. C.  makes sure to have us great meals.

Potato soup in a bread bowl is always the best! I could eat potato soup every week. Although Mr. C. Isn’t a huge fan at all. 

One of our all time favorites is Mexican casserole otherwise known as Dorito casserole. We normally make a big pan and share with Brody. 

Our COO ordered us pizza for lunch. We all like pizza! 

Berries and crème crepes at The Artisan in Durant Oklahoma. I haven’t had a crepe in many years. This was so amazing, full of flavor and light. 

Clifford’s birthday cake. 

Some of our Thanksgiving foods. I didn’t take many pictures of our Thanksgiving meal. 

The appetizers and such. Elizabeth always has the food areas decorated nicely.

My overflowing Thanksgiving plate. It was all so good.

Black Friday shopping called for Panda’s food. 

Mexican food at the Elizabeth and Charles. Chicken enchiladas made by Alisha, chicken Mexican casserole, street tacos with beans and rice. They also had rotel cheese dip, vegetable platter, pineapples with tijin seasoning. Mr.C. and I really enjoyed the meal and company. 

 

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving 2025: A Day Filled With Blessings, Family, and Too Much Food

This Thanksgiving looked a little different for us, and honestly, I think that’s what made it so special. Instead of hosting at home, Luther and I made our way to Elizabeth and Charles’s house for Thanksgiving dinner this year. Their home was filled with the warmth of family — Brody and Savannah were there, along with Lane, Landon, and sweet little Sophie. We were also joined by Alisha and Jonathan, which made the day feel complete.

I couldn’t help but feel proud watching Luther spend the holiday surrounded by his children and grandchildren. Moments like these are priceless, and I’m grateful he was able to make new memories with them.

Elizabeth and Charles took on the majority of the cooking (bless them!), and what a feast it was. Brody contributed a ham, a pumpkin roll, and a pumpkin pie, while Alisha brought a tray of deviled eggs. As for us, we arrived with Rotel cheese dip made with sausage, pink fluff, golden Oreo pudding, a vegetable tray, cranberry sauce, and two gallons of sweet tea — plus Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite.

Elizabeth’s spread was something out of a classic Southern holiday dream: turkey, mashed potatoes, giblet gravy, corn, green beans, macaroni and cheese, dressing, and rolls. Needless to say… we had enough food to feed a small army. But we were also very aware of how fortunate we are to sit down to a hot meal when so many don’t have that comfort or even a place to lay their heads at night. Gratitude hit a little deeper this year.

Before digging in, we made sure to bless the food, and then we took turns sharing what we’re thankful for. My biggest blessings? My sons and their families — always. And the freedom we’re blessed with each and every day here in the USA.

The whole evening was peaceful and full of good conversation and amazing food. We arrived at Elizabeth and Charles’s around 3:45 PM and didn’t head out until about 7:00 PM. It was the kind of afternoon that fills your heart in a quiet, lasting way. I’m especially grateful for the memories Luther made with his children and grandchildren. These moments matter.

Now I want to hear from you!

What’s your favorite Thanksgiving food? I’ve always been a ham and dressing kind of girl — and don’t even get me started on a good green bean casserole. Do you keep the football on TV every Thanksgiving? We always have, for as long as I can remember. And I’d love to know if you have a Thanksgiving tradition that’s a little different from ours. Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

I hope you had a beautiful Thanksgiving surrounded by the people you love most.
