California here we come right back where we started from: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started out just like it always does. The guys up at the crack of dawn to play football in the annual Turkey Bowl, Val in the kitchen cooking, Pumpkin pie and raw stuffing for breakfast. A typical Thanksgiving for us. About 8 I ran out to take Nana some stuffing for breakfast. We had extended family in town staying at her house so I stayed a while to visit. We were having a great time catching up when the phone rang. It was Val calling to let me know that Paul had been taken to the emergency room with what they thought was a broken collar bone. So off I went still in my pj's to meet Lance and Paul in the emergency room. Paul and I sent the next 3 hours there waiting on x-rays and medication. It wasn't the ideal place to spend our Thanksgiving morning but what are you going to do.

He got released just in time for us to make it to the church for communion. Something our church does every year. The church is open for a few hours with all the pastors available for you to have communion with your family before the days festivities begin. It's a wonderful time for our family to be together and to remember what we are most thankful for before we are caught up in the hustle and bustle of the day ahead.

After communion we headed home for showers and to get ready to head up to Julie's for the day. We enjoyed a day full of family, delicious food and being thankful for all we have. As you will see we did get caught up in the day and the photo department suffered. Maybe next year i'll remember to slow down and savor the memories a little more. Happy Thanksgiving!
