Happy Thanksgiving

We've had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day, brimming with things for which we are thankful.

• Our little circus is all together. That hasn't always been the case for us, and we know it isn't for many of the military families we know and love. We're thankful for them and for their service.
  
  
• A house full of family! We were joined by aunts and uncles and a sweet, sweet little cousin.
  

• Nan and Grandpa came and stayed over last night, which meant Mama and Daddy not only received help in preparing the turkey, but also got a Thanksgiving Eve night out!

• Everyone pitched in to help -- aunts and uncles and grandparents all brought side dishes. (And a ham, too, actually!) Daddy and the girls helped out in the kitchen before they'd even gotten dressed. (I should probably add frozen dinner rolls to the list of things I'm grateful for...)
  
  
  

• An abundance of food. It will be thanksgiving dinner every day for at least a week at our house!
  

• A cool, crisp evening walk -- a family tradition -- after dinner, before dessert. Kathleen was particularly thankful for her indulgent aunts and uncles, who raced with her and even gave her a little swing.

• And, of course, we're thankful for friends and family far and wide. We are thankful for you!
  

Happy Thanksgiving!
