So hard to believe, but another Thanksgiving is here. I feel like 2013 has just FLOWN by; does anyone else feel that way?
At this moment, I am settled on the couch in the living room, watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with my nieces and a big cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee. I watch the parade every year; nothing gets me in the spirit of the season like watching this fun event. Then the family will come over late morning, and we'll snack on appetizers until our big meal at Noon. After we all take naps, the food comes out again for the dinnertime Thanksgiving Round 2 meal. (Who else makes a sandwich out of the leftovers? SO GOOD.)
What are the Thanksgiving traditions in your family?
To commemorate today, I wanted to share just a few of the many things I'm thankful for:
* A great family. I truly think I have one of the best families out there; I know I am biased, but they're pretty great. I love being part of a large family (I am the oldest of 6, and I have 14 first cousins on one side alone!). We all have such a great time together, and now that the "kids" are all getting older, I love that we're still staying close as adults.
* Wonderful, supportive friends. I am lucky to have friends I've known since junior high, high school and college, and also new friends that I've been able to meet through our shared love of Disney.
* Warm clothes and a warm place to sleep. At this time of year especially, when the wind is howling and the snow is blowing, I am thankful I have clothes to keep me warm and a safe home to live in.
* My Keurig single-cup coffee maker. My darling, with you I have coffee and tea whenever I desire. Let's stay best friends forever. (I had to throw at least one silly, nonsense, non-mushy thing on the list - it was getting way too serious in here!)
I hope you and yours have a very blessed and safe start to this holiday season. Enjoy your time together, and if you're braving the Black Friday shopping - best of luck to you!
And a final reminder - you have until Midnight tonight to comment on any of the posts on this blog to be entered to win the Anna & Elsa dolls from Frozen! The winner will be announced tomorrow morning so stay tuned!
