I am thankful for so many things! My loving family, my wonderful friends, for the many ways God has blessed my life each and every day. As has been tradition for the past decade, we have spent Thanksgiving at Landon's Godparents house, the Britts. They live right on the water and the view from their home is gorgeous. It is always such a nice time and each year it seems to grow bigger. There were approximately 30 people there this year. It is always a pleasure to visit with folks and watch Landon interact with everyone. He was much more sociable this year. Everyone couldn't believe he was only 3 years old. Yes, I know he is a BIG 3-year old and yes, I know he looks exactly like my Dad. I heard both of those throughout the day. One of Landon's favorite people is his pediatrician, Dr. John. They adore each other and this year they got to play some kickball and even wade along a sandbar (only in Florida, huh?) The weather was a perfect 70 degrees and the skies were beautiful. So, after stuffing ourselves with Tommy's delicious turkey (he is the BEST cook) and all the goodies that everyone brings we took a nice stroll along the beach to walk off our meal. What a perfect day. The only thing missing was my father. How I wish he was still able to join us but we did get to have a Thanksgiving Day feast with him on Wednesday at the nursing home.
