I know Thanksgiving is over and most people have moved on to Christmas but I wanted to take a moment to share my Thanksgiving thoughts. First, our family went down to my parents and were joined by my brothers and sister-in-law and also my aunt, uncle, cousins and spouses from California. It was so lovely for all of us to be together. We don't usually get to see our extended family on holidays and it was a treat!

Second, I wanted to share what I'm Thankful for this year. While I'm always thankful for my family, this year I am especially thankful for the example that they have set in marriage. I am glad that I have had such great role models to look up to - my parents, aunts and uncles. Marriage isn't always easy, but it's worth it to try hard to make it work and that is what I've seen and that is what I strive for.
The weekend was awesome - lots of family time, lots of fun, lots of good food.
Some of the highlights included:
