Thanksgiving day: My favorite day of the year.
And that's pretty big, because I absolutely adore summer days and I love Christmas.But, I like Thanksgiving because a.) it's not too hyped up b.) my entire family is here including the Nashville cousins c.) foooood d.) our annual Thanksgiving walk to the brow, and lastly e.) the weather always seems to be perfect November weather.
We also always have step-by-step photographs of what we do for this holiday.
Mother Dear cooked in the morning...
Bry and LA came down while Aunt Ang was getting ready to have everyone to her house for lunch. They juiced some oranges that Padre brought back from Florida.
Bry is adorable.
LA is a cutie.
Thanksgiving is usually at my grandmother's but this year it was at Aunt Ang's lovely new house.
Trey and Jack got into it on the kitchen floor. But they looked happy for the picture.
Mars and Lars.
The kids table...

We loved having Laurel and Caroline with us this year.
The adults table. We're allowed to go in there after we've eaten.
We can talk... A lot.
Elle got ENGAGED on Thanksgiving Eve so it was our first time to see her. We were so excited!
Elle and me with her ring. She's my "same-age" cousin (we all have a pair in my family)... It's so crazy she's getting MARRIED.
LeeLee and Bry on our "walk" to the brow.
It's Aunt Lori, Bry and Leelee.
Cutie.
Well, we actually failed at the walk this year. Time got away from us and it would have gotten dark by the time we got to the brow. Our solution?
We still got pictures... Even though we broke the walk tradition.
My cousins except the two oldest and one youngest. And Jack, who was taking the picture for us.
Look at that adorable couple!
Sweet Mego and Bry. She's holding him so he wouldn't run off the side of the mountain.
Loving my cousins.
We left Jack there accidently but we came back to pick him up. He was our photographer for the walk. Nice effect, right?
Anyways, it was a good day as we shared memories, broke a few traditions, and didn't even burn any of the calories that we consumed with a walk.
I am so thankful for this family that I have. We might be a little odd at times, as we pointed out yesterday, but that's okay. They make me laugh. And I have fun with them every single time we're together.
Hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine!
