| Our first Thanksgiving 1983 | |
|
|
Last night we got to talking about all the different places we have been for Thanksgiving. It was fun to try to remember where we were and who we shared dinner with. Unlike most families we have no real traditions we follow at Thanksgiving other than spending it together. For many years the Thanksgiving break meant no school for a week which for us meant travel. It has changed a bit the last couple of years as things like work, girl/boy friends, college, & other obligations keep us at home. No matter where we are for the holiday we still are lucky to spend it together along with our friends & family, for this I am thankful.
I hope everyone's holiday is full with love, laughter, and good times.
Happy Thanksgiving to All.
Here are some of our special thanksgivings over the years.
