I know we're supposed to be decking the halls all over the place by now, but my family has always sauntered into this process instead of rushing. So before the mad frenzy of fa-la-la-ing overtakes me, I did want to tell you now that we did have the best Thanksgiving!
We feel so fortunate this year that we are all healthy, and that we are warm and safe and well-fed.
This time last year my husband was gallivanting about the Middle East, so we are so glad that he is home with us -- and that our home is in America.
And our friends are such a gift!
There are no words to describe this wider family of loved ones who make our lives so full. This year we just had to stop counting our blessings because we ran out of fingers and toes!
You really are blessed! I hope your Christmas will be as merry as your Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great Christmas this year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful holiday! My favorite photo, by far, is the one of grandma with the martini! Go Grandma!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey :) Kimi here from NoMoSlackMo. I'm trying to send you an invite to join the blog but can't find your email addy. If you want to send it off to me at kimkayjohnson AT gmail.com that would be great. :)

ReplyDeleteYou have a great family and are truly blessed. Thank you for sharing them with us. :) I'm following you now also.
ReplyDeleteI agree whole-heartedly, Liz! We haven't put up the tree, but we will. The overseas mailing deadline has me focusing on the gifts first this year. Our best gift is having my husband home as well. He was playing in the sandbox last Christmas too! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
ReplyDeleteI know I've made the big time when my photo shows up in your blog!
