your story // week 2

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days of the year. Not only does it usher in the beginning of the Holiday season but it's a day of gratefulness. Twenty four hours set apart to specifically be thankful and reflect on your blessings. We spent the day at my grandparent's, playing scrabble and sampling cheese (I kid you not -- the asiago cheddar on the toasted crackers were a favorite), watching football and a movie, eating food (of course), and talking and laughing till my stomach hurt. It made me realize how much I love these people and how truly blessed I am that they're my family.

My grandma made five pies, two of which were gluten free (pumpkin, pumpkin apple, another pumpkin, apple, and berry), and we topped them with cool whip or icecream. Turkey, stuffing, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberries, sweet potatoes, corn, buns, and a veggie platter consisted of our menu. Thursday was laid-back and perfect. It was a day full of food, family, laughs, joy, and so much love.

Since I'm still not supposed to do much, I didn't take many pictures. That's okay. The moments are sometimes more important than a photo. Now I'd like to hear...how was your Thanksgiving? And what are you grateful for? A few things I'm especially thankful for...
