That's my mantra to my kids -- you'll thank me when you're 30. <br /><br />When we lived in Belgium, Thanksgiving was a work-day and I think we prepared turkey drumsticks :)Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07876606729146077830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-68034520605781262792009-11-25T12:17:13.621-05:002009-11-25T12:17:13.621-05:00Lovely post.

Advent makes me smile...and cry. But it's a good cry! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6221151616674180073.post-14007730111872205002009-11-23T14:25:21.186-05:002009-11-23T14:25:21.186-05:00We celebrate Lent, also!
