Today we are thankful.
We're with Matt's family this year. We switch off every other year. When we're with his family we have dinner at his Aunt Alaine's house (on his mom's side). This year we had 60 people for dinner. I (and my sister-in-law, Stefanie) was in charge of sweet potatoes (MMMMMMM!).

family, family evwy-wheyeh
some football (and the Cowboys won!)
Then it was down to business...
...yep, we're black friday shoppers. 3 years running now. We went through the ads to map out our plan for the next morning. We love it, well Matt does more than me. It scares me a bit. I'm not big enough to really love it-the big crowds make me nervous that I might get trampled and squished. We managed to get all the things we needed and got a pretty good show in too (Toys R Us was nuts!!).
It was a fun Thanksgiving. We're so thankful for family. We're thankful we have somewhere to go and somewhere where we are always welcome. We were all together (for the most part-there were a couple of families missing), and there were 60 of us. I love that. Everywhere you went in the house, there was someone there-and it was nice. Matt has a great family. They have an amazing ability of making everybody feel welcome and loved. I'm lucky to be a part of it :)
