Giving Thanks

This year Thanksgiving was a little different.
I didn't get to spend the day with my family or gather around the table and eat turkey with them. Nope, this year I went into work and then spend my turkey day with my Dragon's family. The W's were so gracious and kind, welcoming me into their home for the holiday.

Dinner was delicious, all of the traditional trimmings occupied the table. Including turkey, stuffing, mashed taters, cranberries and corn pudding as well as twists on some of the season's best, green bean casserole with brussel sprouts and bacon. As is usual for my family's Thanksgiving feast, there was way too much food and we all ate way too much.

After dinner everyone, feeling a little more sluggish, played a game. It was one we all played last year during Christmas but no one really remembered how to play, so there was a lot of making up rules, breaking them and laughing. I was fun and a great way to end the day.

I wish I had photos to share. It was a wonderful day with a substitute family. I couldn't be more thankful for the love and compassion of the W's and my Dragon.

Hope you had a very happy Thanksgiving!
