We had a great time celebrating Thanksgiving this year. It was really special since we were spending it as newleyweds and it was my first Thanksgiving in Delaware. We went over to my mother and father in law's house on Wednesday night and I helped my mother in law make a few dishes. We spent the night and the next day, Matt helped my father in law with some yard work and I helped my mother in law get ready for our Thanksgiving feast! Everyone started arriving around 2:30 that afternoon and we had appetizers....you name it...we had it! We played a game and then it was time to gather in the dining room for dinner. The food was great and so were the festive drinks! It was just a great time to relax and be together as a family. We were going to go home that night but we decided to stay another night and had breakfast with my mother and father in law and Joanna (my sister in law) the next morning.
I of course missed my wonderful family back in Texas but Matt's family is so similar to mine that it was like I was home! I love my new family and am grateful everyday for all of them! I am so thankful for Matt (my wonderful husband and best friend), my wonderful parents and brother and my new family and brothers and sisters...you mean the world to me, God and His wonderful blessings, my friends back in Texas who are my sisters and best friends in life, my new friends in DE, my new house and wonderful new job.
This has been an amazing year for me & Matt and we are so thankful for everyone in our lives and for the blessings that God has bestowed upon us! We are enjoying the holidays so much this year and are so thankful that we get to celebrate everything together as newlyweds. It is so special!
