We are fortunate to spend Thanksgiving with my dad's family every year. It has become a tradition that I very much look forward to as part of the holiday season. There were many years that we didn't get to see this side of the family... reasons for which I am not sure since I was a kid and no one shares those details with kids. Nevertheless, we see them yearly now. It is a great time that we are getting to know our cousins better. I'm the baby of 15 first cousins, most of which are much older than me. But, as adults, age doesn't matter much anymore. My aunts, simply put, are just lovely! Every time we get together, its like we never skipped a beat. I don't think I've laughed so much in a long time. Oh, and it is important to note that Eddie fits right in with this crazy crew!

These are the good times in life. Family is what it is all about. It's important to keep this in mind during the business of the holidays. Hopefully, we will have many more years to get together like this.
