We shared a wonderful Thanksgiving with our dear friends from NY, Uncle Chris and Uncle Dan, Jennifer and Craig, Carrie and her daughter Anna (who flew in from NY just like last year.) Anna was so caring and thoughtful with Jemma and even though she's 6 and Jemma's almost 3 they played so well together. Jemma got the iPod bug when Anna put her ear plugs in Jemma's ears, and they had a wild game of Twister - albeit with their own set of rules. The food this year was sumptuous - it was super gourmet and so much fun to prepare with Uncle Chris with Carrie as our sous chef. There were 8 adults, 5 dogs and 2 kids and we ate like pigs, watched Hairspray and Free to Be You and Me (Jemma's all time fave) and watched some pretty hilarious videos on YouTube. And of course we were all grateful to be sharing another year together. "In a life of plenty and prosperity it is easy to take things for granted. Thanksgiving focuses our minds on our blessings rather than on our problems. It makes the heart glad for what we have been given, and it takes our minds off the burdens we all have."
