Three Thanksgivings

Three Thanksgivings in three days.  If you weren’t aware, that is a lot of food.  In the past, I probably would have worried about how I was going to navigate all that eating but this year I took a different approach.

I decided I wasn’t going to sit there and think about all the things I could or could not eat.  I wasn’t going to fret about going overboard and shoving as much food in my face as possible.  I was going to enjoy the people I was with, share the dishes I had made, and overall have a good time.  In short I was going to not be a control freak and have a good Thanksgiving.

And you know what?

It was one of the best Thanksgivings ever.  I spent time with the people I love and some I hadn’t seen in a long time.  I made a chocolate peanut butter pie that was a hit (and I promise to share it soon).  I laughed, I ate, I was thankful.

Like I said, one of the best Thanksgivings ever.

How was your holiday?  Did you get to see friends and family?  Eat any new dishes?
