We had a lot to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. Not the least of which was that Aunt Amy and her son, Justin, came for a visit. Jim and I were able to sneak away for a 3-day trip to Napa that was beautiful. I don't remember ever seeing Fall colors so vivid! We ate and drank and slept with no interruptions at all, except for a random woodpecker knocking on our window one morning. It was lovely. And quiet. And relaxing, although I honestly don't think I ever shook the feeling that something (or several somethings) was missing.The best part was to be able to come home to happy children, close cousins, and a Thanksgiving dinner all together. Aunt Amy picked right up and took over childcare so well that the kids hardly noticed...well, they probably noticed that they were having more fun than usual. They baked birthday cupcakes (for me), turkey sugar cookies, played Wii Just Dance, and saw Puss N Boots in the theater. Good times. There's not enough thanks in the word Thanks for that birthday/anniversary/Thanksgiving gift.
