Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. Really. Our expectations for the day revolve around little else other than getting together. Again this year we had my extended family join us for a wonderful day. Most of the thirty people drove a few hours to be here, which was a great gift in its self. We were all thrilled to meet the newest addition to our clan who happened to be in town visiting from B.C. Many of us get together for Christmas and the occasional big birthday bash, so it was nice to spend the day together.
The weather was warm and sunny, perfect for a scavenger hunt played by all ages. There was lots of tree climbing, soccer games, chatting, making ice cream in the ball, and lots of yummy potluck goodness, dessert outside. I was floored to be able to fit all thirty of us around three tables in the kitchen/living room!! We had time around the fire as the night approached and people headed home. It was a day with wonderful reminders of how much we have to be thankful for.
