Three Thanksgivings

Thank goodness Thanksgiving is over! Now it's time to prepare for Christmas.

I don't mean that in a bad way, we had a great time with all of our family. Although driving from house, to house to house did wear us out quickly.

Our first stop was Graysen's grandparents and we spent time with his Mom.



We ate the big turkey and fixings meal at my parents. I'm a little biased and think my Mom is the best cook. She always decorates her table which truly makes it feel like Thanksgiving to me. Who doesn't eat with Pilgrims staring at you during a meal?!?



There is never a dull moment with my family, there is always a story to be told or someone to laugh at, oh I meant to type laugh with!



We then drove to Georgia and spent time with my Nanny Ree and family.

She's definitely loved by her grand kids and great grand kids.




She has shown all of us how to have that love for one another even when we didn't want to as young children arguing and whining over "stuff" and that's just what it was...

"stuff".

I've learned after many years it's not how much "stuff" you have but how much love you have especially for one another.

Three Thanksgivings could correlate well in many ways with "Four Christmases".
