So Much to be Thankful For!!

Today is definitely a day to be thankful! I was able to spend today with my awesome family. All my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. came to my parent's house for Thanksgiving. We had a blast. We always play games on Thanksgiving. The games always vary except for Tripoley, which my grandfather loves. Its a combination of 3 card games--hearts, poker, and Michigan rummy. We play with pennies, so whoever wins has to make sure not to spend all of their money in one place on Black Friday. We also played Cranium, Taboo, and Outburst. Since we all do/say stupid stuff, it's really easy to make fun of each other.

When we used to have KMart in Meridian, all the girls always went there on Thanksgiving because it was the only place open. Every now and then we'll go to Big Lots, but we didn't venture out this year because it was rainy and messy.

Of course, the rain did not stop my little cousins from playing outside. They were soaked, then thought it would be a good idea to come in and sit on the furniture. Brightness runs in the family. Connor, who is about 3, also thought it would be fun to run around outside with only his pants and socks on-yes socks, no shoes. Kids are the best.

The Saints played Dallas today, and it wouldn't be hard to know which team our family is behind by walking into the house. There was a sea of Saints jerseys and shoutings of WHO DAT!

Love my family! We always have a blast when we get together--definitely thankful for them. I am also very thankful for my amazing friends. It's so great to have people in my life who are good, Christian, hilarious people. To know that I have such great people to have fun with and enjoy life with is something to really be thankful for today. Happy Thanksgiving!
