First Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving. It wasn't hard to remember what we are thankful for this year. Seven years we have waited for moments like this. Seven long years that have shaped us. Seven years that deepens the gratitude.
I was also very aware of my dad's absence. I often am. And especially now. He would be leading the charge on remembering the past year, marking it and celebrating it.

Here are a few pictures. Samuel had his very own charger (something I know the name for after my Pier 1 days). He loved all the food on the table. He tried sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, carrots, cornbread and green beans.
