Slowly winter, I guess it's time for winter, but it seems to soon.(stolen from Charly the musical). I can't believe that it's that time of year. Time for celebration and time for snow, presents, food. Yikes! I kind of dismiss Thanksgiving. I can't help it. Short of family get together what's the purpose. I remember the good Thanksgivings- the ones where there was enouph people for 2 tables. I loved it then. We would eat and eat, and make a craft in the afternoon, the kids would play, the men would go out and shoot a gun or something. That's when Thanksgiving was good. Now its just us, and mom and dad. Which is good, but not the same. Definitely not the same. I want the kids to have that big family get together, the one you look forward to all month, because you know your going to get to see everyone. Times change and things change. It's sad, and I guess I'll never get used to that part of it.
Okay now I'm done feeling sorry for myself. Took the picture the other day on a drive. The snow was beautiful.

I miss those Thanksgivings, too. But can't wait for Christmas because of family being together then. YEAH!!!
I look forward to it too. I can't wait to see all the kids playing together.
I know what you mean. I miss Gramma's parties with everyone stopping in if only for a few moments. Now I feel like she never gets visitors and why did we move her to Coolidge? (I must say I visit her more now that she is farther from me!)
Our Thanksgiving used to always include us and suzy/morris family. Now its just us, and this year my dad may not even be here, he's out huntin' with his brother. So many things change, and sometimes that is very difficult.
Every year on Christimas morning, I feel like something is totally missing, and I think it is the way we did it growing up, I miss the suspense, but watching Rhayn open gifts is great. It really is all about the children, isn't it?
leaner- afraid so, kids kids, christmas is for kids! Oh well, it's fun in a different way. The fun of sneaking around at night making sure everything is just right.
