We had a great Thanksgiving. We had dinner at our house. So here's the list of family that came: my sister and her family; my dad,Vicky and even Matt and Tyler; my Grandma and Grandpa Wells; Jay's parents and Karen; lastly, Dan'L and Brandelyne. We had a pretty big group and I think things went very well. It's so nice that both Jay and my family get along and we are able to do things together.
The night before Thanksgiving my sister called our Grandma Wells to see what she and Grandpa were doing for Thanksgiving. She told her that they didn't have anywhere to go and they were just going to go out to eat. Kris told her that they should come out to Ririe for dinner. I am so glad that my sister had thought to call grandma and grandpa and I am so grateful that I was able to give them a place to go for Thanksgiving.
So during dinner everyone found places to sit. However, my dad went to the kid's table. We insisted that he sit with the grown ups but he wanted to sit with his grandsons instead. The boys thought that was pretty cool that grandpa sat with them!
The day before Thanksgiving I was thinking of all the things I am grateful for. I am truly grateful for my kids. The other night I was feeling down and Colton kept coming into my room and bugging me. I was so grateful that he was there to cheer me up. I am also so blessed to have such a wonderful husband. I feel fortunate that he was able to come home for Thanksgiving. The time went by to fast and can't wait till he comes home just before Christmas. I am grateful for all that he does for our family and the sacrifices that he makes. I am also grateful to be close to our families. It was hard being away from family this summer while we were in New Jersey. Lastly I am thankful for all my friends. I am lucky to have the friends that I have made. My friends mean a lot to me and help me get through the day.
