This time of year has always been one of my favorites. I have so many wonderful memories from my childhood of being surrounded by family and friends. We always ended up with a house full of people that brought so much joy to an already wonderful time. Thanksgiving time is such a wonderful reminder of how much we truly have to be grateful for. I am so thankful for all of the amazing people that are in our lives. We have some great friends and an extraordinary family.
This year is going to be a little different for us. We will be missing the extended family that we are so used to having around at the holidays. It will be a much quieter holiday than we are used to and hopefully will be one of very few that we have to spend alone. We will miss having family with us but plan to make the best of a quiet holiday weekend……Ok, so I hope that was a lot more convincing to read than it felt as I was writing it. I am dreading spending the holiday alone! I guess it is instances like these that make us even more grateful for the time when we are able to spend holidays with family.
So this holiday season, although it will be a little quieter than we are used to, I still plan to celebrate and be thankful for all of the wonderful things and people that we have in our lives. Thank you to all of you who have made our lives more fun and interesting and full of love. Without friends and family we would not have nearly as much to celebrate!
