(Late)
Yesterday was Thanksgiving and I have a "thankful" hangover. SO much to be grateful for!
Thanksgivng day was busy and wonderful. The whole family came to my house for our traditional breakfast. Even my father made it this year. Looking down the table at all of the beautiful faces, I was fighting back tears - of gratitude - of love. My life has been truly blessed - over and over again.
After breakfast, a couple of hours to recover and on to Greg and Amy's for dinner. They had 3 tables this year. There must have been at least 20 people. Greg and Amy carried it off with their usual grace - and a truckoad of food - 2 turkeys this year - a ham - Amy's wonderful mashed potatoes and all of the fixings to go along.
Greg and Amy had a turkey "cook off" - each cooking a turkey. Amy declared herself the winner! Greg didn't even put up a fight.
Richard, Julie, Kate, and Brynn stopped by after dinner for dessert (of which there was no shortage - cheescake - pumpkin pie - apple cobbler - cupcakes for the kids). I'm still full today!!
There is a new baby in the family this Thanksgiving and we are thankful for her sweet presence. Greg has a new job this year. So does Richard. Michael was just promoted. There are also job complaints, but basically we are all grateful to have our jobs - our homes - our families.
Life is good! God is good!
We are thankful!
