happy holiday weekend friends!

This week it’s Holiday Holiday – right?

(Don’t worry – “holiday holiday” doesn’t mean anything.  I just made that up.)

Today I made pimento cheese for the first time.

Tomorrow London is making peanut butter pies – a Keigley Thanksgiving tradition – and Bergen is making Lemon Squares.  That boy loves lemon desserts.

We are celebrating Thanksgiving with half of the Eibert kids – maybe one day it will be all of the Eibert kids again.  One can always hope.  But we are thrilled to be reveling in family time and drinking mulled cider and eating Beckey’s sweet potato casserole and Danny and Max’s magical grilled turkey.

I hope your Thanksgiving weekend is full of family and fabulous food and funny stories.  

I hope it is free of inflated expectations and sibling rivalry and false ideals.  

I hope it is authentic and memorable and happy.

Ours will be free of one thing – the internet!  We are unplugging and turning off and putting away.

So – until next week……. Happy Holiday Holiday!
