We give thanks

For the first time in many years, we gathered with family on Thanksgiving. Considering the chaos of having 4 small children to run after, my sister and I felt pretty proud that we actually got edible food on the table. Nothing fancy, just the Thanksgiving essentials: turkey, gravy, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes with marshmallows, mashed potatoes, salad, green beans and pumpkin pie.

When the day after Thanksgiving arrived with sunshine and very few clouds, we decided to head to the park rather than doorbust for bargains.

This year we have much to be thankful for. Health, happiness, employment, wonderful friends and family. We humbly give thanks for these riches in our lives!
