I LOVE the fact that we all live so close (except for a super duper Aunt EJ and the husband’s sister’s lovely family). 

In this 20 Days of Thanks, I knew I would mention our fabulous fam.  But this year it seems like I am even more thankful for their close proximity AND love.  With our impending unemployment, we really can’t say where we will be living this time next year so I have decided to soak it all up. 

This is a first.  We have been married 12 years and this is the first year we will be with both sides of the family on Thanksgiving day.  I must say I am a bit giddy about that fact.  I won’t mention the two members who have chosen to go watch the ‘Boys instead of partaking in a Thanskgiving Feast with the rest of us.  My ten year old son is still a bit bitter about not being invited to the game. 

I hope to have some fun pictures of our family posted tomorrow.  I will admit that I am a bit relieved that I did not walk in on my mother bathing Tom this year.  Last year I overheard her conversation with Tom and I was horrified.  Go here for that odd story. 

So I am so very grateful for my entire family, even for those who talk to turkeys.  I didn’t say we were perfect, just loved!
