Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all that we have and all that is important to us.

One of the things I was especially thankful for this year was the opportunity to host Thanksgiving dinner for our family.

A little preparation and a lot of help made for a special day and a wonderful meal. I am so thankful for the memories made...
