Giving thanks

Our Thanksgiving holiday was spread out over a couple of weeks with a variety of family visits and delicious meals. There is so much to be thankful for this holiday season.
-- Family members that traveled many, many miles to be with us. Bonus – Walter had a reason to get out the globe. 
-- And the family members that traveled just across town.
-- Wonderful meals and the great conversation and laughs that went with them. 
-- Gracious guests who laughed with me as I filled the house with smoke while cooking one of those meals. (whoopsies!)
-- My sweet husband who cleaned the kitchen after that meal.
-- My sweet boy who managed to stay in a pretty great mood, despite a runny nose, late nights, and a heavily-sugared diet. 
-- The opportunity to get out in the fresh air and burn off some of those calories – including a chilly, but sunny, walk on the bay at Grandpa's house.
-- And the opportunity to snap a few photos in the middle of it all.

Happy Thanksgiving to you!
