A few weeks ago, we hosted my Uncle and cousins from my Daddy’s side of the family.  It was, sadly, the first time we had done something like that.  We didn’t spend a whole lot of time together when I was growing up.  I feel regretful that it took my Daddy passing to inspire us to do this, but I’m grateful that we did it.  We had a wonderful evening of eating, playing games, and sharing stories.  And we unanimously agreed that the evening was the start of a new tradition.  Thanksmas.  Love them all so much and so very thankful for our time together.
