Thanksgiving with who?

Thursday, November 27, 2008

Thanksgiving it's a time to spend with people. It represents an opportunity to sit around the table and not only give thanks, but also share with others. I hope you are doing this today with those you call friends and family.

For me it is a very special Thanksgiving. For the first time in 9 years all of my kids are having Thanksgiving with us. I can't tell you how grateful I am for having them all together.

Igor who was just released from the Air Force and who was also awarded the Purple Heart this week, is here with us.

Jon who has been living on his own for about 5 years now is also joining us.

Ashley and Jacob who are still at home will be here to share the day with us as well.

Additionally, we have several friends and their families joining the festivities. Here's a rundown of all our guest:

1. Silvia and Jarek Pastor (friends) (2)
2. Concha and Pedro (In-laws) (2)
3. Roman and Mirjiam Iselin and there families (friends)(6)

All in all, we will have about 20 people over.

I'm thankful today for friends and family. I thank the Lord that we can take time to give thanks with the people we love.

Who are you spending time with today? It's not too late to invite some!

Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!
