Gratitude Posts

So I fell behind on my gratitude posts. We got so busy trying to leave for Thanksgiving and blogging was just one thing that slipped through the cracks. So hopefully I can catch up on the last week:

1. a safe trip to Farmington for Thanksgiving - and the boys were even mostly well behaved!
2. Getting to see all of my brothers, their wives and kids, my little sister and parents. We were all together for Thanksgiving - that doesn't happen often (in fact I can't think of the last time it did!)
3. digital cameras
4. Mama and Papa's house - I love going there for Thanksgiving. It makes it feel like a "real" Thanksgiving since that is what we always did growing up.
