Andrew's Thanksgiving Menu

Andrew's favorite holiday, without a doubt, is Thanksgiving.

He started reminding me a week or so ago, his annual countdown to Thanksgiving Day. I couldn't help but laugh. About five years ago, we were talking about our favorite holidays and the traditions that go along with them.

When the room was quiet, Andrew, who is usually very soft spoken said aloud, with increasing gusto in his voice, "Turkey.......corn......mashed potatoes....... gravy........YEEEESSSSS!" We all started laughing because it sounded so funny.

Today, Andrew and I were planning the menu for Thanksgiving dinner. He knows how much I like to cook and thinks I make the best, well, everything. I asked what he thought we should make this year.

He looked at me with laughter in his eyes and said, "Turkey....corn....mashed potatoes...." I chimed in and we both said, "gravy.....YEEEESSSSS!"

Being silly, we both started laughing, and I admired his beautiful smile.
