Happy Thanksgiving!

Today is the day we Americans celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. This year brings a first for me, I’m cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my parents in my home! They've never been able to travel to visit us during the holidays and so this is an extra special holiday for me.

I've also never joined in the fun that is "Throwback Thursday" and so in the spirit of the holiday I went looking for an old Thanksgiving photo I could share...I believe I was just a little over 5 yrs old, and I'm posed in front of the portrait door (an amazing amount of family photos were taken in that spot) at my grandparents. My outfit was a school project, and not terribly PC I'm afraid. I do remember that clay beaded necklace I'm wearing, a fine art project with straws and clobs of colored clay...

To all my American readers, Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you are surrounded by those you love, be they family, friends, or furry critters.

  5. Wonderful! You don't look terribly happy in that photo though...

    I'm pretty sure that there were *zero* Thanksgiving photos taken by my family, so I think it's amazing that you were able to find one at all, especially one that is this cute!

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and Andrew, and enjoy your parents' visit!

  12. Your 5 year-old self has that characteristic look of mild annoyance at the picture-taking rite, Loree. (You can see something similar in my 5 year-old self, used as my avatar on my blog.) I hope your Thanksgiving dinner came together beautifully and that a good time was had by all!

  14. Happy Thanksgiving Loree! No, that is most definitely not a PC outfit. You do look annoyed at the picture-taking.

  15. My kids were dressed as pilgrims at that age but, silly me, I took no pictures. Maybe that's a good thing: I can forget the scowls and just think how cute they were. Happy Day After!
