Tradition, tradition!

There are lots of "turkey day" traditions.  You know, the usual - overeating the delicious menu items from turkey & dressing to veggies and pumpkin-themed desserts, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, football, taking the time to voice our blessings out loud to the Giver of all blessings.

In our family, Thanksgiving typically involves a Wednesday night meal with one side of the family at my in-law's house, only to wake up on Thursday morning and go do the very same with the other side of the family at Sam's grandparents' house.  Some things never change.  Some things really shouldn't.  It's one of those treasures that makes it my home away from home.

What does change each year is how the great-grandkids choose to spend their time after the meal.  One thing is for sure, whether it's...

...pausing on the swing for a group photo...

 ...playing in the leaves...

...riding around like maniacs on toys brought over from Grammie's house...

 ...loving on (or headlocking) some puppies...

...climbing trees...

 ...or even climbing trees with one hand and still having your finger in your belly button with the other...

...we have much to be thankful for.

Just catching up this morning. You do have much to be grateful for, Jennie, not the least of which is that family you got along with your husband. There's always so much love around them.

Loved the pictures, Jennie. So many precious faces to be thankful for. I loved all of them - but my favorite was Sarah with the puppy. A photo of pure love...

GOD BLESS!
