Thanksgiving

Our Thanksgiving celebrations were filled with lots of family and lots of fun!  We hosted my side of the family on Thanksgiving day.  My dad's brother and family joined us to help us feel a part of him was still with us that day.  There were 22 of us all together.  We then went to Indiana on Friday to celebrate with Brian's family.  His aunt and uncle from his dad's side and aunt, uncle, cousin, and family from his mom's side joined us on Saturday for their Thanksgiving feast.  There were 21 of us together there!  The thing I am most thankful for is being able to celebrate with two families who love each other and get along.  No family is perfect and we certainly have our share of issues, but I'm so grateful we don't dread celebrating the holidays with family due to disagreements or hurt like some people do.
