I'm thankful everyday, buuuut....

I'm glad there is a holiday dedicated to it, because I got to go home and see my wonderful family! I'm definitely thankful for them. Without them, I wouldn't be who I am today. And I'm more or less happy with who that is. They have given me patience, kindness, morals, standards, support, unconditional love, smiles, hope, a sense of responsibility and are always always always going to be there even if no one else is. So yeah, I love my family :)
Plus it was great to have some time to just hang out, and not worry about being a million places at once. Because my life has been hectic lately.

Dessert preparations for Thanksgiving dinner, compliments of my seeester!

Yep, we're related :)

Aren't we ADORABLE? I think so. 

All the food-makers. My contribution was photographing the process.... :)

SO GOOD. 

Maddie (9 years old) took my camera for awhile....

This is my mom!

And my uncle!

Yeah, I spent the break knitting. 

:)

Pret-taaaay. 

I've always wanted to take a picture like this!

Now I have!

Delish, yes? It was sooo good. 

Yummy yummy. 

I'm thankful to be in a family of good cooks!

View from my sister's window (she ever--so-kindly let me sleep there!)

I think it's pretty. 

It made me feel like I was one of those "small town to big city" college girls that you always see in movies! Except Vancouver isn't where I grew up and Bellingham isn't a big city... haha. 

Knitted items! The hat was like a physical equivalent of an epiphany (whatever that would be!)

It looked soooooo good! I almost kept it. Haha.

We did family pictures right before I left :)

This is obviously not the final product, but it is one of the best pictures I have ever seen.

In my whole life. 

In all honesty, I'm going to get this printed and hang it in my room.

:)

So anyway, that was my Thanksgiving! Minus all the traffic. Which SUCKED. But I made it, and saw my family, and ultimately that is what is important.
