While it's still Thanksgiving weekend, I want to remember my blessings. I have so many. Thursday found us together at Mom & Dad's to celebrate with Hollie, Eunice and Al, Bootie, Amy, Punky, Josh and James, Kaitlyn, Gracie, Thomas, Andrew and Maura, Jacob and Olivis...wow! It was a house full as well as a table full. We laughed alot and remembered fun times. The food...well, maybe this picture will do it some justice! After we ate, and ate some more, the kids went out and played in the leaves and threw the pigskin...a pot of coffee and coconut cake later, folks began to leave. The kids went over to Keith's to have dinner with him. All I will say about that is...the tradition continues...I am THANKFUL for so many things...my health, my job, my parents, my kids, this girl

On Friday, we met and headed out for Black Friday shopping. I was encouraged to make my yearly pilgramage to the mall...what a mad house! I got a few things, then we headed back to Mom & Dad's for dinner of turkey soup and hot rolls...good stuff! Kaitlyn was feeling a little worse, and we left there and she went to Patient First. Poor girl, she had a double ear infection and walking pneumonia. That brings us to today...Andrew has been here all day. It's been fun to have him around. I made a big pot of chili and we watched Virginia Tech beat UVA 36-0. It was a sweet win! The big girls and David made it back to the Burg safely, and although tired, I'm thinking we are all thankful for the love and support of family, both heavenly and here on earth. I have a lot to be thankful for, and so I am!
Let the holidays begin!
