He got out 6 months early b/c his ship was decommisioned. So he was in for 6 months AFTER we were married. I have really good memories of that first Thanksgiving. :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-12048436947329841752010-11-17T10:18:01.575-06:002010-11-17T10:18:01.575-06:00I did't know your husband had been in the Navy...I did't know your husband had been in the Navy.Mine was inlisted when I met him he only did 4 years.Our first Thanksgiving we spent together was in a little apartment off base we sat on pillows with an upside down box as a table.We through a table cloth over it and used our wedding china.It was fun.I am sure the memory now 23 years later is probably sweeter than the day actually played out.It was just the two of us at the time.We have always held Thanksgiving at our home somtimes their have been over 40 family members come but the last few years it has just been my husband myself and our 5 children. I think we bore the rest of our family none of them have young kids or even teenage children anymore.We are kinda set in our traditions and have great times together.I miss having a lot of people over though.When I was growing up I had 3 cousins my same age and we always spent all holidays together we even piled in the same bed for years on Christmas eve.Those where great times.What ever I do I just try to remember we are making memories.LucyTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686582774155973298.post-86096183191141809702010-11-17T09:28:54.561-06:002010-11-17T09:28:54.561-06:00We made bath salts for a VBS craft once.

Also a friend recently made me a hanging magnetic board with a cookie sheet, ribbon, scrapbook paper and small magnets.
