Thanksgiving at Dad’s

We made a quick trip to southwestern Wisconsin over the weekend to share the Thanksgiving spirit with my dad. It was much quieter than our time with Pat’s family but it was still special. It was great to catch up with some of Dad’s family. Not everyone made it this year, as two of my little cousins are quite sick. Our thoughts were with them and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that we will all be back together this time next year.

Thanksgiving in Photos {Family}

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, in no small part because it’s the day that Pat and I got engaged last year. The huge helpings of home cooked food and flowing libations don’t hurt either! I celebrated this Thanksgiving with my future in-laws. Thanks to Pat’s four sisters and their significant others/friends, the house was always full and there was never a dull moment. It was a wonderful weekend. I have so much to be thankful for and a weekend surrounded by family was the perfect way to be reminded of this.

Happy Holidays!
