Giving Thanks

Yes, gas was $1.43.  I had to take a picture.

I was truly thankful to be in Kansas City with my family for Thanksgiving.  Unfortunately, Doug had to work, so it wasn't quite perfect - but it was great to see so many friends and family - especially my mom, brother & niece.  

Besides the holiday, we spent time at the lake house cleaning, visiting a few friends and attending my great Aunt's 90th birthday party.  A little winter mix gave us enough snow to make a snowman and delay our trip home.  We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, surrounded by friends or family.  After a tough readjustment year for our family, it was truly a blessing for us to be together.

It looks like you had such a nice trip. I'm glad you got to spend the holiday w/ your family (although I'm sure you were missing Doug).

Looks like a great time with your family. I know this is a hard year, but probably so good to spend it with your sweet family :)
