Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. I wish you delicious food and wonderful conversation with your favorite people in the world. As always, I am so thankful for this blog and all the people I have met through it.
On this day, I am enjoying extended family and eating until I burst, drinking too much (but it always seems like not enough) champagne and thinking about the people I would also like to gather with who are at their own tables having their own dinners and hopefully also thinking about me.
I am remembering all of the Thanksgivings of my childhood and early grown-up years that I took for granted-- all those years I assumed would come again and again and again with the same face across the candles, the same mishmash of food smeared on the same china. I miss everyone-- my babies when they were babies, my young self who was so careless with time and had SO MUCH HAIR, my grandparents, my grandparents' siblings, my dad.
Here's to the happy golden days and knowing when we're living them.
Thankful for you and the joy you (and your photos) bring to my life. Enjoy. And drink the darn champagne! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving Sarah!
ReplyDeleteOMG - such a cute retro pic. The paci. The two older boys look so much alike here. I enjoy Thanksgiving and we're going to a SIL's house who is also GF, so there will be food. Ha. These days are bittersweet without beloved family members. Enjoy your day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I bet it’s great having Harry back under your roof! Im excited to celebrate with my siblings - 4 out of 5 will be there. We never really know how good we have it, do we?
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! The picture of your kids when they were little is so cute. Recognizing the golden years while they are here is special.
ReplyDeleteThat pic is everything. I do remember the Christmases when our kids were little and most of our extended family was around and accessible, thinking that it all seemed precarious, and precious.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving to you (so close to Christmas, so weird lol). Enjoy all the eating and drinking and kid-squishing.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!! I hope you had a beautiful day with the exact right amount of champagne.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! That photo is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving! I know what you mean about Thanksgivings of the past. Ours haven't been the same since my grandma and grandpa passed away within 3 years of each other. New normal, right?
