THANKSgiving. =)

Thanksgiving is TOMORROW =). I wasn't very excited about it until my friend Heather rubbed off on me. Now I'm very ready. I haven't spent time with all of my family in a while. This year is going to be great though because my Grandmother and Uncle from my mother's side of the family are going to be at my Dad's parents house to celebrate with us. I'm sure I'll have a lot more to say about the Thanksgiving dinner along with pictures tomorrow but I just wanted to post really quick. My family is animated and I'm sure some of them should be certified crazy so there won't be a dull moment tomorrow. I'm excited to see everyone in one place.

Over 20 people will be gathered in my grandparents 3 bedroom ONE bathroom house. I can already smell the ham (yummm). Mawmaw, Mama and Aunt Vickie will be cooking and setting everything up while talking to the other aunts who either can‘t cook or did their cooking part at home. I can already hear the laughter from the men telling jokes and stories while my grandfather tells them to be quite because he can't hear the John Wayne movie he has playing. The grandkids scatter. Three of us are much older than the rest because our parents all decided to have kids before the rest did. My sister, cousin, almost cousin-in-law and I will more than likely be talking about school and other things 20+ year olds have to talk about. We have to keep a watch over the younger kids though. They tend to get into fights over what channel to turn the TV on in my grandparents bedroom. We would rather watch them while the mother’s cook so that we can eat faster. We have babies running around too and they tend to be accident prone. It gets hectic but I wouldn’t trade my family for the world.

Take a look around at everyone and be thankful you have loved ones in your life and people to spend the holidays with. Some people are overseas this year and can’t be with their families. One thing you can be thankful for is family. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving.
