Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Thanksgiving for the Milefchik Family was pretty good. Since Tom and I didn't have to work we thought it would be a good idea to sleep in, but reality hit when our youngest daughter Camryn came in at 5:30am wondering if the daycare kids were coming. So, the idea of sleeping was a good thought.

The girls were watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on tv (that is one parade I would love to go and see and it's also on my "bucket" list) and Tom was making his famous green bean casserole to pass at my side of the family. Things were good.

That's when I had an idea that I should open a blog and jot things down for friends and family to read. Caitlyn has wanted me to do this for sometime but I wan't sure if it was a good idea or not. I really enjoy reading blogs from my best friend Lisa Wymer and when I do read her blogs, even though I talk or see her just about every other day, it does make me feel closer to her family. So, I thought why not my family blog. Since it was Thanksgiving why not just start it.

So, I'm hoping that when you read our family blog that you will get the feeling of being close to our family.

Anyway, Thanksgiving on both sides were good. My family is huge! Just on my mothers side of the family there is about 250 people! If you ever watched My Big Fat Greek Wedding, that is my family, except we are not Greek. We are loud and we do get on each others nerves, but there is this feeling of comfort having a big family. No matter were you go there is always a family member close by. Kind of like having angels all around you. Sure don't get me wrong there are times when you just got to get away from them all, but once you have your space you find yourself back in the family circle and it seems like you never missed a beat when you were gone. I wouldn't trade them for anything!

So, I have two Thanksgiving Blessing that I'm thankful for. The first one is my own family. I have a great husband and wonderful children that love me and I completely adore them. My second blessing is have a huge family to make me laugh, cry, get angry with and get down right silly with. I don't know what the future holds for my family or this huge family of mine, but I can't wait to ride the ride with them and find out. What great memories I will have.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving and count your blessings.
