Thankful

Today is one of my favorite holidays of the year.Why ,besides loads of awesome food, is it my absolute favorite,you ask? Because it is the holiday that I host! Yes, me, the Big Guy and our girls host  30 or so of our beloved family members at our house. God bless them, everyone of them live out of town at least an hour and a half drive but its our annual Truthful Mommy & Big Guy celebration and it is amazing. My parents, his parents, our brothers and sisters, their spouses and children, grandparents and any friends or extended family that needs or wants to stop by. It is complete craziness but it is beautiufl and warm. I get fuzzy just thinking about their arrival.So, today in commemoration of these wonderful people and the sentiment behind this holiday, I am listing what I am thankful for!
