We had an incredibly low-key celebration, which is good, because our kitchen was made functional just in the nick of time. Having in-town family also makes a huge difference, because my MIL very graciously did a bunch of cooking since I didn't have a lot of lead time. She brought a fully cooked turkey over, among other things. I literally did nothing until 10 pm the night before when I started on some pies.
John's parents came over around 11:15, and we ate around 12. Bella helped me a lot with the cooking, which I appreciated and enjoyed.
After eating, we went around talking about what we are thankful for, which the kids embraced and ran with.
The weather was so beautiful that we went to the park and then on a walk to get out of the house and get a little movement.
It could not have been more pleasant. Sadly, Grandma and Grandpa could not join us, because Lenny's knee was giving him trouble. They ended up going to the ER since he couldn't walk, and he was given crutches and pain-killers, so it was probably good they didn't try to go tromping through the woods.
2018 has pitched us all kinds of surprises - good and hard. I'm thankful for the mix, because it keeps us humble and looking towards the Lord for all things. I hope and pray that your heart is filled with gratitude for how he is shaping your life.
