My first Thanksgiving without my mom.... Since it's our off year, I had a dinner today, Sunday, Nov 23rd with my kids (minus Sid and Jack because they left this morning for Texas to have Thanksgiving with Jackson's sisters). It was the first time I've made stuffing and sweet potato casserole without my mom. i may have overdid it a little on thr butter in both but they were still delicious. She taught me how to make those really well. We had a lovely dinner where Jeff gave a teary eyed speech on how much he loved us and how grateful he was for family. He said how empty it felt without grandma Gloria there. He talked about how much we all loved her and the empty space that she left behind. Jace had more fun dropping food down to Millie than he should have. Millie was happy to lick it all up! After we finished eating, I played with Jaceroni while the others played Cover Your Assets. Then I gave Jace his very first haircut and bathe him before they went home.
