Thanksgiving

For the first time in five years, I went down to enjoy Thanksgiving with my family. I must seem almost anti family, but I assure you, it's only been a few different circumstances that have been keeping me away. This was a great year to go back, though. My Grandpa asked all of his children to visit this year, he's been ill, and they all complied, along with a few of his grandchildren. There were 29 of us there, which is a nice solid number, and it was enough that we couldn't squeeze into their house and had to move our party to the gym of the church. It was great being able to see so much family together, some of whom I haven't seen since before Chris and I got married. Here are a few of us.


Not only were we able to celebrate Thanksgiving while we were visiting, but we were able to help my parents celebrate, albeit early, their 30th anniversary. Their anniversary was actually this week, but we couldn’t resist giving them their present since almost all of us were there. Only Jared and his wife and kids and Jason were missing. We gave them their present, a dvd of sorts, and watched it together while both my parents cried. That was fun.
