Thanksgiving 2008

I have so much to be thankful for: family, friends, health and God's abundant grace, mercy, peace, and well, everything!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my mom's house in Sulphur, LA. Her house was overflowing with family. The kids were running, screaming, dancing with scarves and providing great entertainment for us all. Sadly, Bailey (my niece) was suffering with an ear infection and Zion was attacked by a vicious LA mosquito. All jokes aside about him being a Rocky Balboa , his eye really did look pretty bad (still looks a little rough, but getting better).

Joanna, Chad, Chipper, Alexis, and Bailey came in from DeRidder. Aunt Geri and Ricky came in from Slidell. Uncle Tony and Mia travelled from Lake Charles. Aunt Katsie and Uncle Marcelo along with Aunt Desiree, DeeDee, and Becca came from Sulphur. Brandy and Patrick flew in from Florida. Uncle Matt, Aunt Debbie and Katelyn came from Moss Bluff. And Nanny and Paw Paw came from next door. Aunt Carole, Uncle James, Josh and Jake even popped in on their way home to Houston.

We just arrived home and it feels so good to be home. Visiting is great, but there is no place like home. Plus, I made sure to clean before we left so it truly was a welcome sight. Yay, we still have Saturday to rest and recuperate from all the festivities.

Hi Nili, I love this. I'm going to see if I can email the URL to Argentina so Marcelo's family can view.
