Let us give thanks

First, let me start by saying the number one reason I am excited for Thanksgiving every year is because it means I can officially start listening to Christmas music without getting crazy stares. That really isn't my favorite thing about Thanksgiving, but it totally makes it more exciting!

Every year for Thanksgiving we go to my Grandma's house and she cooks probably the best Thanksgiving feast you could ask for. This year was no different, I drove up last night and spent some time with my family, woke up early this morning, watched the parade and anxiously waited until supper was ready. This year was especially better because my cousins Corri and Chad, who I haven't seen since I was in braces, were there.

My Grandma cooked dinner for 16 and it is just so cool to see how much serving us in that way once a year gives her so much joy. As you can imagine it is hard to find a table for 16 so each year we have the table in the dining room and the table in the sun room set up, in the past the dining room had the "adult table" and the sun room had the "kid table". This year we realized that my 15 year old brother Dillon is the only "kid" now, the rest of us are over 18 so technically we are adults too.

Well usually the "kids" fix their plates and sit down and wait for the "grown ups" and then Grandma or Pa will say grace. Today Grandma decided I had to say grace for the "kids table" so we wouldn't have to wait for the adults to be ready, talk about putting a girl on the spot.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, these are some of the things I'm thankful for:
- My Mom for working so hard to provide for us :)
- My Grandma Lola for loving her family so much and her awesome stories.
- Being 3 semesters away from being a CNU graduate.
- My family
- My sisters, especially my triceratops fam


Happy Thanksgiving !!
