one of my brothers and his family joined us for thanksgiving this year. it was just the six of us and it was an utterly lovely day.
we cooked, we cleaned, we hung out, we listed the things we're thankful for, we shopped, we ate tons, we watched the Macy's parade, we lounged around, scoured the black friday ads, and simply enjoyed each others' company.
for my brother and me, there's just something about thanksgiving. it's a holiday we've always enjoyed a lot, and one we make an effort to see through together every year that we can. and this year was just as lovely as the others, perhaps even more so because it was so much more intimate and laid back.
and the holiday gives me a special reason to recount all the things i'm thankful for...my beautiful daughter, my healthy baby, a home i love, friends and family that make life worth living, a neighborhood community, a job i love, and a salary that makes life very comfortable.
it's one day i can fairly easily lose focus on the things i'm not so thankful for.
