4:45 on Thanksgiving Morning
Thursday, November 26, 2009 at 05:20AM I got up to put the turkey in the oven and looked out the window on my way downstairs to haul the 'big boy' up from the fridge.
IT SNOWED!
Our first snow of the season! The ground is covered and the street looks slushy and slippery.
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year and the day of the first snow of the winter is one of my favorites, too! I don't ever remember those two events arriving on the same day before. We've had plenty of snowy Thanksgivings--one was so snowy that Tom couldn't make it home from college--but I honestly can't remember the first snow on Thanksgiving.
Such a small thing, but it made me smile. I'm thankful for the little, silly things that give us pleasure; that make a special day even more special.
The rest of the family is asleep. They don't know. It's our secrect, we Moms, who got up early to wrangle a turkey, divest it of its innards, and tuck it in the oven.

Wow...what a great surprise. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours Kim!!
Lovely! (Since we've had a few snowstorms already, I'm glad we DON'T have any!)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Kim! If 'our' little Elliott gnaws on a turkey leg, be sure to take a pic for us!
