thanksgiving, in retrospect

many people may not know, but my step mom is Vietnamese. that makes my sister half vietnamese, and me a faux Vietnamese. right? right. anyway, i was hoping to get invited to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, but we didn't get an invite until a last minute invite with my Vietnamese folks. so, off we went.



obviously, it was not traditional. bummer, but beggars cannot be choosers, i guess.

nathan and i were not feeling all that great throughout the day, but it didn't stop us from enjoying the evening.


ava adores her auntie kelli!



grandpa got in on the fun and some serious notes were coming from that piano!



i am so very thankful for my family's good health and the love that we share. i am thankful that i am able to keep a roof over our heads in the hardest of times, and that i am fortunate enough to have loved ones who care deeply for us.

hope your thanksgiving was filled with fun and everlasting memories.
