Thanksgiving was celebrated many times by our family! We started on Wednesday when Aunt Cherry came to celebrate with us. We closed on the new house that morning so there was much to be thankful for!! Although we had planned to enjoy dinner in the new house Wednesday night, the plan didn't quite work out so we ended up getting Jersey Mike's and enjoying dinner in the current house . . . but we made a fun memory as we toasted marshmallows on the grill and made s'mores!
Thursday Dave and I ran in the Turkey Dash and then came home to get ready to travel. We headed to Greenville, SC for a late lunch celebration with Dave's family. It was very casual with everyone wearing our race t-shirts. Before we knew it it was past 5pm and time to load back into the car and drive home. We didn't even get to stay for dessert as it was getting late!
Saturday we ventured to Elon to celebrate with my family. Again, it was a nice casual day with amazing weather. The kids played and played and played outside enjoying much overdue time with their cousins. We all ate until we were stuffed and then still enjoyed a selection of chocolate desserts. Before heading home we took a walk to see Uncle Mark's new house, which should be completed soon. And of course we made it home in time to watch Clemson destroy SC. :)
We have so, so much to be thankful for . . . from family and friends, to good health and all of the many blessings the Lord has provided our family. . . we are truly grateful and blessed.
