...THANKFUL FOR YOU...

Ah, Thanksgiving. Truly, one of my favorite holidays.

I was lucky enough to live a close distance from my mom's side of the family and my dad's, so we were able to spend every Thanksgiving with family and it was always a big to-do. We switched off which family we visited every year, but I always knew there'd be a big family get-together and I had cousins on each side that I was excited to see.

As families got larger and individual families grew with marriages and babies, etc. the big family gatherings stopped happening and it was up to our moms to have the parties. Although, truth be told, Eric's mom had been the one to have Thanksgiving at her home for years before I ever joined the family.

I grew up in a large family and there's a good number of people when we all get together. Eric grew up in a small family one brother lives out of state and the other brother kind of goes with the wind. We're never sure if we'll see him. So on the years when Eric's mom doesn't have her brothers and sisters' family to feed, it's just us. It makes for a small group, but sometimes, I enjoy the quiet and familiar.

Thanksgiving 2021 was just one such year. At that time, I was determined to 'get in the picture', since I'm usually on the other side of the camera and don't necessarily love being in front of the camera. So I tried my best to get selfies with each of my kids and well, some just aren't as cooperative as others.
