It is that time of year again....tomorrow is Thanksgiving day! I wanted to share some of the things that I remember most about Thanksgiving at the Pyle house.
To this day it is not Thanksgiving to me without getting up to watch the parades. I remember how much fun it was to see the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade every year. Nothing felt right until I saw Santa Claus pull up the end of the parade. Then it was time to go to Grandma's house for the traditional feast. There was always enough for the family and at least 3 or 4 others. The traditional Football games. This is where I became a Dallas Cowboy fan for life. Of course, there was the annual Pyle Nerf Bowl in the back yard. The one thing that I will always remember and will probably never find again is Grandma's pumpkin pie. I have never had one that was like hers since. I grade every pumpkin pie I taste based on hers.
There will never be a time like that again. I often think about the crazy things that went on around the holidays and have to laugh. I am very grateful to have had the life I did growing up and would not trade those memories for anything in the world. I am truly blessed to have the family that I have and I pray each day that I can bring the wonder and magic to my family that was so dear to me then. I love you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
