We spent lots of wonderful quality time with my parents and we even got to spend time with all the family from Tampa. Aunt Kim, Uncle Ray, Uncle Tom, Aunt Cindy, and even Aunt Jan from MD came to spend the holiday with us all. The most special was having Granddad there and for him to meet WJC5. Granddad is the only grandparent I have alive, not including my Aunt Irene and Papa Gene who are like grandparents to me. So, having WJC5 meet and spend time with him was very emotional and special to me. It was a moment I will never forget and WJC5 is lucky to have met him. I am so thankful that we were able to get a 4th generation picture for our family as well. :) My mom's cooking was fantastic... I am still tasting the pies... and my parents made this one of the most special Thanksgivings I've ever had.
We also got to visit and see many of our good friends. My parents hosted an Open House and graciously let us invite people over to see us and meet WJC5. We had a packed house and it was so fun!! We loved seeing everyone and WJC5 did too!! He did great, smiling at all the kids, and never fussed as people passed him around like a football!! Such a great time. It made me realize how much more I miss everyone. I feel lucky to have such wonderful, lifelong friends!
So, my friend Rayna did this on her blog and I just LOVED it. I decided to copy the idea (thanks Rayna) and do it too. It is "Thankful... A to Z!" It is something I am thankful for for each letter of the alphabet! Enjoy and lots of love and happiness to you all for the holiday season.
