Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without...

Celery & squeeze cheese. Yum!I have always had celery & squeeze cheese on Thanksgiving. It is a staple. I honestly had no idea that it was just my family tradition. My first Thanksgiving after Merlin and I got married we went to his moms house for dinner. I was getting my food I said to Merlin, "Where is the celery with squeeze cheese?" He looked at me like I was completely nuts, then looked around to make sure none of his family had heard me. Now every year he makes fun of my family and our "red neck" celery & squeeze cheese Thanksgiving.



On a more serious note, with the scare Mom gave us the past week and a half, I am thankful that I was able to share Thanksgiving with both of my parents.

(This picture was taken on Halloween. Mom dressed up as a vampire. Although, she did get 3 units of blood yesterday. We always take lunch to the hospital on "blood days" and have a picnic in her room.)

I am Thankful for...
