My Thanksgiving

Over the river and (literally) through the woods to my aunt Joy's house we go.
I can't see Thanksgiving any other way.  We normally arrive to some craziness, as my kids run through the door (or cling to my leg) I add a little bit of my own craziness. ... The house smells like turkey (and tophurky) and the kitchen is packed with people...  I've kissed and greeted my way through through to the kitchen to drop off my sweet potatoes (will they even fit in the oven?).  
As I make my way through to the living room (okay, FIRST I did stop and get a glass of wine) everyone normally has to write something they are thankful for... (hmmm... Am I thankful for my aunts big basement that my kids are playing in so I can drink this glass of wine)... Passing through I've now heard one of my cousins dirty jokes he is passing along to the adults (ughh... Really.. Lol sometimes I dont want to be an adult to hear them...haha), my uncle has music going through the house and I normally have time to sit and and relax...  for just a minute (someone has to go potty, needs a juice box, or is pulling their brother's hair).
Someone's yelling through the kitchen dinner is ready, all the Eeehhheem.. "older adults" go first which is fine by me, because it's time for my "little" cousin and I to scout out and fight for room at the kids table...  Our kids table is about 40ish and younger..  My cousins and I have never outgrown it.. And I wouldn't have it any other way...  Who has the rolls... Time for the food fight to start...oh no who hit "great auntie so and so" we get shot a dirty look through the porch doors.  So this may not be Martha's Thanksgiving, but it's mine.  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  No matter how you celebrate yours, take time to think about what you are really thankful for.  In one year, my business has grown up big time, I have learned a lot, cried a bit, loved with your families, laughed, and I am thankful that you trust me enough to bring me into your lives to capture these sweet moments with you.  
Happy Thanksgiving!
