We had our first Thanksgiving without Mom and we were surprised at how well it went. Everyone did an amazing job in cooking and preparing for the day. We had about 25 people at the house. Had a lot of laughs, a few tears, and a good time with family. The kids seem to have a blast and we ate way too much!!!!! Dad did surprisingly well. I am amazed at how God has given him the strength to make it through this time. Lisa did well too. I think we might have been so busy on that day, that we did not have time to be sad. Don't get me wrong, we really missed mom, but we did not sit around and think about it. Now, after the day was done, it set in a little more.
It was wonderful to be with the family.
