So this is going to be my Thanksgiving post since its tomorrow and I might be in too much of a food coma to write anything :p
I love this time of year, not just for the food or the presents, but because I love being with my family and the people I love. I love the traditions my family and I have, the ones that I can remember growing up to. These traditions include for Thanksgiving, going to my grandma Nina's house for lunch with my dad's half of the family then over my house for dinner. I love helping my dad cook, that's right my dad is the cook in our family, the turkey and preparing everything especially making our homemade apple cider, it goes great with everything!
Like Thanksgiving, we have our Christmas traditions. They are gonna be a bit different this year since Christmas is on a Sunday. Usually what we do is Christmas Eve is our service at our local church, then we come home and bake cookies for what used to be Santa, but now I make them for anyone who wants them. Then Christmas morning we all wake up early and open presents. Since I'm older now and don't get much sleep at school I tend to be the last one to wake up. After presents we go to my grandma Esther's for Christmas breakfast and presents. Later that day we head to my aunt and uncles for Christmas dinner. Out of all of these things I have grown to love just being around my family and having a good time laughing and making memories. I remember when I was a kid all I would think about were the presents, but can you blame me? I was a kid, nothing was better than getting toys.
I hope to make my own traditions when I have a family of my own and look forward to their company. It's at this time that I say I am very thankful for my family and friends and all of my loved ones. They make me who I am and I always look forward to seeing all of them. I'm a lucky person. I have a wonderful family, great friends, an AWESOME boyfriend!(Sean :D) and so many people that love and care about me. I wouldn't trade my life for anything in the world. Go and hug someone special to you and tell them how thankful you are to have them in your life!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING
Til Next Time!
This is my wonderful family that I cannot live without! This is from the summer of 08
