This was the first Thanksgiving I spent out of Idaho and away from my family. I have to admit I missed them and the traditional game of spoons at aunt Candice's. Sean and I did have a very nice Thanksgiving though. Sean's mom and brother came up to spend the day with us. We had a delicious ham dinner which we ate on the floor using the coffee table because we don't have a kitchen table or chairs. Everyone went around and said what they were grateful for, which is my favorite tradition. We spent the afternoon enjoying eachother's company and having nice family time. Sean's mom left at about 5 that evening but his brother stayed with us until Saturday. Sean and him had fun playing the xbox 360 all weekend! This Thanksgiving experience made me realize that I do love and miss my parents and my siblings and I wish I could spend every holiday with them. But I also realized that it's ok to celebrate the holidays and start new family traditions with my husband and daughter.
