I'm a little late on this, but it's been busy. We had a yummy Thanksgiving. I enjoy the food more and more each year. It's amazing that as you get older you start liking all of the stuff you thought was so gross when you were younger. We had everything you could imagine at my aunts. Everyone brings something to go with the turkey and ham and it's so good every time.
We did something different this year. My uncle had everyone go around and say what they were thankful for. I thought it was great to hear my kids say things. I mean if I made them do that at home they wouldn't take it seriously, but there they did it because everyone else did. They were thankful for family and life and that was so great to hear. We're lucky. Not a lot of families still celebrate holidays together anymore. So many get separated by distance or feuds. We still get together with my aunts, uncles, cousins and grandma; along with my sister, mom and stepdad. The kids have this familiar placed tradition every year to run around with cousins, play with new babies, play games and cards, talk and eat together.
There is NO better tradition than this. Family trumps everything in my mind and being together is important.
