This year we spent Thanksgiving with the Flint side of the family in Spokane. Matt's cousin, Melissa, lives there. Gramma Dottie and Melissa's parents, Alan and Lorrie, came up from California and we all drove over from the Seattle area.
Thanksgiving day was wonderful. We played games and hung out together then had an amazing meal at dinner time. It was good to spend time with family that we don't get to see very often. Then Friday we all just hung around, some people went for a walk, some went shopping and some of us just stayed at the house. Then of course, there was more great food :) as well as more game playing and hanging out in the evening hours.
I also got to see my Grandma and Grandpa Rima a tiny bit since we slept at their house. Then on Saturday morning we had breakfast with them and hit the road again to head back home.
Overall it was a great weekend with time spent with family and many thoughts of all the things we are thankful for. Most of all, I am thankful that even when life is hard, there is always SOMETHING to be thankful for. Sometimes you just need to slow down and count your blessings, as cheesy as it may sound ;)
