Thankful for Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is always a special time and this year was no exception.  We look forward to it for weeks and then it feels like in a blink of the eye we're home again.  So it's a good thing fond memories have been made!

So, here is a short list of things we're thankful for:

1.  Older cousins ...
who entertain you ...
 
cuddle you ...

take you for rides ...

 and teach you the finer points in exploration.

2.  Younger cousins...
who can be cuddled ...

 and make the perfect playmates!

3.  Aunties...
who have infinite patience with you...

and read stacks of bedtime stories to large audiences.
4.  Great-Grandmas ...
 who love being surrounded by their grand children's children...

and who listen with rapt attention to all sorts of crazy stories. 

And last but not least:
5.  Grandpas ... 
who make the best storytellers of all.

  1. You got some sweet pictures! We miss you all but thankful for the fun time. Thought about you lots yesterday and wondered how your long trip home went. Maybe the leap pads helped the kids (something new and fun) Have a super week!
