Thanksgiving

Who doesn't love Thanksgiving? I know I do! I truly enjoy all the tradition it brings. We are reminded of so many things that we have to be thankful for as well. Here are some traditions my family has:

Food - Turkey, mashed potatoes, candied yams, green bean casserole, rolls, pumpkin pie, pecan pie...YUM!!!

Family - This has always been a time for family. When we can come together regardless of long it may have been since the last time or how far we may live apart.

Football- It seems to be on the entire day even if no one is watching it. Personally, I've never really paid too much attention. I know this year my son will be watching at least one game with joy and zeal.

Traveling- This has always been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. As a kid, we went to my Grandparents cabin in Lake Gregory (near Arrowhead). This year we are making the trek to Bend, OR for a visit with my Dad, his wife, my Aunt and cousins! Btw...it's a twelve hour drive and I PRAY there won't be any snow yet (it's a long story about my husband Gary I'll share another time).

Macy's Thanksgiving Parade - Okay as a kid I didn't have any desire to watch...now I love it (don't know why) my daughter enjoys it too.

I'm also reminded of the day after Thanksgiving "traditions:"

-Putting up the Christmas tree and decorations.
-Doing nothing but rest and relaxation.
-"Black Friday" shopping: I've never done it but I have a good friend who does it every year and gets ALL of her shopping done in ONE day!!!! Whew!
-Movies: We look forward to the new releases- this year we want to see Bolt and Four Christmases (I love Vince Vaughn...LOL).

Most importantly, I am so grateful this year for the many blessings even through hardship I've received. I also anticipate the coming with with hope and open arms.

P.S. On a more personal note, Halloween has passed, the election is over....now onto Thanksgiving. Although this is the BUSIEST time of year for me and my family...it truly is my favorite. I think I love to be busy and even a little chaotic. As one of my close friends says "Jennifer...do you ever sleep?" I do....however, I also keep a note pad next to my bed to jot down ideas that come to me in the night!!!
