I love Thanksgiving; it's one of my favorite days of the year. We a nice morning of rest, making Perler Beads, cooking and watching the Macy's Day Parade. Around 1 we headed out to my cousin, Sid and Elaine's, house for our big family get together. We were actually missing several family member this year for several reasons but we still had a great time enjoying a lot of delicious food.
The kids stood together after appetizers to sing a little song and tell what they were thankful for. Lily said "I'm thankful for my family and friends," and Mia said "I'm thankful for Jesus and the cross." My heart melted a little over that one. Then adults had the chance to say what they are thankful for, Ryan prayed for all of us and then we enjoyed lunch. It's always nice to share a meal together, and then we just mill around spending time with different family members. It's truly a great day.
I sure am thankful for this group!
