Tis the season to be thankful...

And this year, I am EXTRA thankful. I have two beautiful daughters, a wonderful and supportive husband, a warm and cozy home, a career I love, and THREE (yes THREE) fur babies (dogs), including our new Great Dane puppy, Wilma, who joined our family in October. We may be crazy, but we are happy.

In November, I also like to reflect on family traditions. When I was a kid, we spent Thanksgiving with the Fosters (my dad’s family). Dad is the youngest of five, which meant I had lots of cousins. We’d converge at Grandma and Grandpa Foster’s house for a day of feasting and football—the latter on the TV and outside in the yard.

We’d feast on corn casserole, an assortment of Jell-O salads, turkey, ham and endless desserts. After we ate, everyone would head outside for a game of touch football. One year, it snowed on Thanksgiving, and we got soaked during a lively game. I have so many fond memories from those holiday get togethers.

Now that all of the cousins are grown up, we are scattered all over the country, and we don’t get together every year. I miss it so much. In September, my cousin Joe married his high school sweetheart, Janet, (30+ years later), and I got to see many of my cousins on my dad’s side. It reminded me how much Thanksgiving meant to me. Now, we have new traditions, but there will never be anything like those holidays from my youth.

What are some of your favorite Thanksgiving traditions? I’d love to hear about them. Email me at ambouthot@the-papers.com.

I hope you all have a wonderful November, full of opportunities to make memories. Xo,
