Thankful

Since moving back to DC a few years ago, Thanksgiving has become the holiday I look look forward to most. We always combine forces with my sister and brother-in-law who live next door, and we invite  any other family members who want to jump in. This year was as close to perfect as I could have imagined. I'm grateful for so many things, especially the growing list of Thanksgiving traditions...

Like a nice long table in the living room....
full of family....
preceded by Thanksgiving mass, then a light soup lunch...

mixed in with a lot of kids and a bit of lounging....

in preparation for an epic soccer game (blue first-borns vs. red second-borns, with all the subsequents divided up....


Naturally seconds dominated! (with these stretching skills, how could we not?)....

Including special new guests (Johnny, you fit right in!)

followed by a post dinner talent show...
that sometimes gets out of hand...

followed by dessert....
and all pulled off by two awesome husbands who look pretty cute in aprons :)
God is so good!

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!!
