It is my favorite holiday. A day dedicated to food, family and friends. I always look forward to spending time with family and laughing a lot. This year was no exception. But this year I soaked in everything. The little things I normally take for granted. Playing boardgames into the night, taking the annoying family photos that create lifelong memories, and hugging each and every relative and friend that walks through the door. Those were the small in between moments I took in as I ate til my heart's content.
And since my camera is still out of commission, I wasn't going to be able to capture any of these moments this year. But my awesome cousin brought his camera and all sorts of fun equipment for us to play with. He is an amazing photographer and graphic designer as well! I couldn't be more thankful for the wonderful family and friends in my life, and some of the pictures are a reflection of just that. I realized this year just how blessed I am for the big things too.
