And I give thanks...
Tomorrow is a day we set aside for Thanksgiving. The thing is, we should be thankful EVERY DAY. Though I agree with the premise of thanksgiving. It gives us a reason to thank our loved ones and thank the Lord for the blessings we have.
My family has a Thanksgiving tradition. A few years ago I set aside a NO FAMILY invited thanksgiving. We were going through some junk with our family at the time. It was fun and we had a blast with our friends. After that I have always done Thanksgiving at our house. Anyone was invited...just like now. The people that are in our lives are there for a reason and I absolutely love all of you. So if you don't have anywhere to go for Turkey Day tomorrow come on over... we can have a hodge podge of "family" Thanksgiving.
That said...we have traditions just like everyone else. We have Thanksgiving lunch...the usual, Turkey, Dressing, Mashed Potatoes, Mac and Cheese (this was for Chelsea), Hashbrown Casserole (for me), Rolls (for Jason), green Bean Casserole (cause WHO doesn't have that), jibblet and a HUGE assortment of desserts. The menu is just about the same every year. After dinner we usually NAP and then we put up our Christmas tree.
The kids are really excited about the Christmas tree this year, especially Jakub.
Traditions are VERY important. It give us something to look forward to every year. It give our kids something to talk about when they get older. It makes us look forward to time with family and friends. So set some traditions this year... or if you have some tell us about yours!
