This year in February, we lost my Grandma. I knew once the holidays came my mom would not want to celebrate because it would be the first year without my Grandma. I wanted to distract my Mom from feeling sad, so I decided to do Thanksgiving at the Garcia-Delgado household. I brought up my idea to Anthony, and he was all in. Last year, Anthony's Mom really didn't want to make Thanksgiving Dinner so he mentioned we would have it at our house. Luckily for us, everyone agreed. I was so excited to host Thanksgiving at the house because I wanted both mine and Anthony's families to celebrate a holiday as one family. Anthony and I cleaned our house to make it presentable for our guests. It took a full day to get it ready, but it was totally worth it. Our house finally started to look like a home, and I intend on keeping it this way. I bought everything we needed for the meal, and assigned other things for people to bring. On Thanksgiving Day, my Mom came by the house early to help me prepare the meal. We had a good time cooking together and we enjoyed some wine while catching up. Preparing dinner with my Mom was a great bonding moment. I don't think I have ever felt so close to her. Our guests arrived and we served the meal. We all ate, talked, laughed, and enjoyed each other's company. We all teamed up to put the food away and did the dishes. I am incredibly grateful for our first Thanksgiving as a family. I hope we can do this every year! I really enjoyed it.
Also, I didn't screw up the Turkey! A job well done, if I do say so myself! ;)
