Usually most holidays are all the same, a good time, but nothing to write about. For some reason this year’s Thanksgiving was really nice. At my family’s holiday parties, it seems like someone is usually in a rotten mood and it will spoil the whole day. This year, everyone was in a great mood, no one was in a rush to run off and my mom was a little ambitious planning something extra that, while we all waited for her, we just hung out and enjoyed each others company with no gang-up-on-someone-and-make-fun-of-them sessions. For whatever reason we hadn’t celebrated Nate, Jami and Benjam’s birthdays this year. So my mom decorated each of the basement bedrooms in a party theme unique for each person, with gifts, decorations and desserts to boot. Instead of everyone poking fun at mom, we all just went with it, sarcasm and all, and had a really fun time.

We also had a took a pseudo family picture; it’s been years since the entire gang has been in one.
I’m glad you posted about one of your holidays. It was fun to see what your family looks like and to put faces with names. That really looks like a good time. The birthday idea is really cute.
