The Gathering Place

This Thanksgiving was a real treat for Brian and me.  Because the fam-diddly moved to Canada, and we all aren't going to be able to get together for Christmas, we decided that we would all get together for Thanksgiving - the meeting point being none other than Columbus, Ohio!  Travis and Shanel drove in from Maryland, Amy flew in from Maryland, and Mom, Scott, and James drove into town from Canada.  Everyone landed safely at the casa, and it was simply fantastic to have a full house!

There's something so amazing about the holidays!  We were able to celebrate together with Brian's family for Thanksgiving and it was wonderful to wake up every morning and see so many familiar faces!  We laughed so much this Thanksgiving!  We cooked, we ate, we played games, we made ornaments, we did a little bit of shopping, we enjoyed our company, and we had many, many things to be thankful for.  I cannot speak for everyone but just having our family together was a huge one for me.  It means so much to me that everyone is comfortable here in our town, at our house, and we are able to all have such a good time together.  It is truly a great feeling.

In addition to the many thanks that we have for our family, we are also thankful to have such an accommodating kitchen!  Having an additional six people in the house was so easy thanks to our wonderful gathering place.  We were all able to huddle around together, drink, enjoy, and laugh - experience what the holidays are all about!

We hope you and your families had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!  Enjoy our photos below!
