2011 Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving for me occured at 3am Nov 25, 2011. This is never been a big holiday for me. I've never really cared much for the holiday itself but I've always loved the fact that my family would get together. I love the random debates. Mostly started by one of the boys picking someone's mouth lol. I love the amount of food consumed but it's only good when I'm with the family. I love the laid back feel of the day. In the past 5 years I've loved the kids.

This year Skype allowed me to participate in almost all the things I love. Listening to my mother and cousin singing hymns as my brother quoted Bible verses was a treat. Talking to my 3 year old nephew who insisted that "We don't need a plane" to come see me. His first thought was "We need a truck and diver to take us" but he eventually decided "We need a ship to go on the water." lol Lord love him. I loved the short puppet show and pre-k talk with my almost 5 year old niece. Seeing my Dad in his mismatched classic polo and shorts was comforting as was the brief to the point conversation with my oldest brother. I am so thankful for the family I have. I absolutely love everyone of them with their quirks lol.

Can't wait to see the family in 4 weeks...even if it's only for a few days.
