This Thanksgiving my older sister Melissa and her family of 7 came up from Connecticut for several days. It was so nice to see them again and makes me long to have her closer. Our kids all play so well together and we always have so much fun catching up. My sister Emily and her new husband Cody were also there and it was the first time in a long time that the WHOLE family was together for Thanksgiving.
There was lots of laughing, lots of noise, lots of playing, lots of eating and lots of quality time together. Aside from the typical Thanksgiving traditions, we enjoyed a fun outing to a bounce house in town, a Buckeye Pizza party at our house and a sisters' shopping spree on Friday morning, after Jeremy's annual late-night shopping spree the night before. I am so thankful for my wonderful family, and for my AMAZING in-laws who urged us to spend time with my side of the family knowing we will not see them again until this Spring/Summer. I could not ask for a better life. I know I am truly blessed!
