a special thanksgiving

I have read everyone's blogs and say a hearty Amen! to them all. This year was so very special. I loved every minute of it. I missed my sister and brother-in-law so much but had so much fun with all the rest of the family. I loved when the kids ran up to me and hugged my legs and cried out "Aunt Patsy"
I nearly cracked up when Caleb ( I love that name) walked in and saw me sitting on the couch and did a double-take...about three times. It took him half the evening to figure if I was Dottie or not. I was so pleased that he finally warmed up to me and sat in my lap...of course it was the last day I was there. I think he did the same thing the last time I was there.
The time spent with each of you girls ( not near enough time with you Kelly) was awesome.
Getting to know Marcus better. Frank was so impressed with Marcus as a person, father and friend.
Meeting Brett (I love that name) ...it was like he has always been there. He and Frank had a great time together also and then the 3 of them together!
The food was sooooo good...you girls can really cook..oops! you too Marcus.
Leanne...you are such a gracious hostess
Kelly...always the light and laughter, hang in for school. You won't regret it.
Kimberly.. you will always be that little strawberry girl ( your 3rd birthday) full of life and love
Marcus..the good Dad, husband, friend, nephew-in-law
Brett...your spirit is so sweet, I could see your growth in fitting right in the family even though we are weird.
We really have such a unique family and I miss you so very much. I was so depressed yesterday , missing you guys and look forward to seeing you again.!!!!!
