Giving Thanks

We're so very lucky to spend Thanksgiving with our families. Andy's immediate fam and mine—including Aunt Val and Busia—enjoyed a feast at BCC. Andy and I prepared by running the Bonfield Express 5K Thanksgiving morning. Thus, I had an excuse to eat all weekend. ;)

We were so busy eating, in fact, I caught little evidence of the day's goings on. Minutes after our arrival, Will and Ellie saddled up to their snack troughs.
Festive photos were attempted. It's a little much to ask of a girl who had gone days without a nap.
But between Omi and Aunt Liz, we did manage to capture one family pic.
We retired to Demmerts' for football and naps in front of the fire, Blokus and pizza later. A lovely, lazy day to reflect on how truly blessed we are.
