Thanksgiving Day

I am truly thankful for this time of year. Thanksgiving Day holds a lot of beautiful memories for me. Today we had Mark and Kellie and their four children with us and Sam's father, Lyle. Then we also had children Cory and Kerin, and Jade and Colby and their 2 daughters. Add to that our other children, Carson, Walker, Lana and Bryce and we had a group of 18. The only ones missing who could have made the day complete were Taylor and Shannon and their 4 girls.
Thanksgiving Day is like a breath of fresh air before the hectic Christmas season starts. I love to just sit and enjoy the weekend - enjoy family, lay around in pajamas, eat lots of leftovers, and do whatever I want, whenever I want.
Thanks to the pilgrims for giving us this holiday. Actually, there are many, many, many things I am thankful for and it is nice to have a day set aside to force us into thinking about them.
