Drum roll please...... The number one thing about Thanksgiving is....
FAMILY!!!!!
(as Ben and Becca said, "Isn't it about time")
Although I ran out of room on the countdown, I also LOVED Theo finally beginning to call Mike - "Uncle Mike" instead of "Uncle Russ" the last day or two of the trip :) And of course, I LOVED being out of school.
Thank you guys sooooo much for coming!
Yesterday, Ilah and I went on a walk, and I was telling her about my Thanksgivings growing up, with all of the cousins either at a church or at G&G Crosby's in AZ. I have such fond memories... I hope the kids remember this one. It was awesome :)

How could they not remember it? It was perfect! Thanks so much!
Actually, Becca is the one who invoked the "Isn't it about time" line. I just repeated it.
We had a blast, Jenn. It really reminded me of the comfort, freedom, and fun of Thanksgivings of old.
What a sweet post. I wish we could have been there too.
I can't help it, I'm jealous! I miss you sooo bad. Michael and Jennifer are amazing hosts.
