I had a fantastic Thanksgiving yesterday. My aunt hosted so I was pretty much stress free since I was only responsible for a handful of dishes. I got to sleep in, leisurely cook, and go to a Pilates class which was so refreshing compared to last years 4:30am alarm to start cooking and the mad dash of getting everything prepared and ready to transfer to my parent's house. Last year was full of the stress of hosting and it was still a great Thanksgiving, but it's nice not to be in charge and just be able to enjoy the day.
It was also Wyoming's first Thanksgiving with my family and it was so nice having him here. Everybody was very welcoming and he fit right in with my crazy family. There was plenty of fantastic food, lots of interesting conversation, and a ton of laughter.
I did think of Jeff, Grandma, Uncle Jerry and Mom but didn't dwell on the sadness of missing them. I am definitely thankful for having had all of them in my life and also thankful for the people I still have in my life. I couldn't have asked for a better Thanksgiving.
