It was a lot of fun having family come to our house this year. I really enjoy Thanksgiving because it is a good time to reflect on the things that are positive and things that we are thankful for. I've had a lot going on the past couple of months and I haven't taken the time to be as thankful as I should. In fact, I have been quite the opposite. This weekend was good reminder that I have tons to be thankful for and also a good reminder that everyone has trials...and I need to be thankful for those too. :)
