Happy Thanksgiving

So many things to be thankful for.....

.....a wonderful weekend, surrounded by my family.  What a treat to just "be" together.
.....a kind and loving husband who provides me/us so much, including a home-cooked spaghetti dinner to return home to after a long drive.
.....two beautiful children who drive me crazy but fill my life with such joy.
.....friends and family around the world who I wish were closer, but I know are out there.

We had a great weekend with the rest of the "Minks".  Highlights included hours of children playing happily together inside and out, a full Thanksgiving dinner complete with upside-down cooked turkey, Grandma Lady's signature potatoes, brussel sprouts with hollandaise and Schmoo's apple pie (a craft from school that listed why she was thankful for each person at dinner), a hotel swim with the big kids and Grandma Lady - complete with a teenage mob that took over the pool.  The wolves interpretive centre was not as successful, but it was interesting to learn about their place in nature.

We missed Papa who enjoyed his own weekend away with the boys playing soccer in Penticton.  He returned home with a mammoth bruise on his hip, but had a great weekend away.
