Happy Thanksgiving! Our family tradition is to home bake mincemeat tarts for the holidays. Mincemeat is a sweet filling mixture of raisins, apples, & currants. We make our own pie dough from scratch, but not like Grandmary used to make it. She was a lover of Crisco! It always did make her pie crust flakey, but I stick with butter. It's those little personal choices that shift family traditions, but in memory of Grandmary & my family I can't be with this holiday I will share these little tarts with the family that is near.
So this is our first Thanksgiving as a married couple! The Macy's day Parade is on & we will visit my cousin at his new house with his fiancée & other family. We are excited to share our wedding albumn & share our new life & love with everyone. We will Skype with family that is far away & it was requested that we dance the chicken dance, last year was the start of that tradition!
Enjoy this holiday & remember those family traditions from ages ago & the new traditions that can start at any crazy moment :)
