turkey day was spent playing outside on the playground and at the beach. we made an attempt to play volleyball and blake taught us how to use his "ripstick". i kept calling it a dipstick, which seems more appropriate considering how difficult i found the task of riding it.
the aunts and uncles cooked an amazing thanksgiving feast, filled with all the foods i love best. we all ate together in the upstairs level of our gigantic house [seriously, who thinks of making a house that can sleep 19 people?!?!]
my cousins are seriously hilarious. i adore spending time with them: laughing, playing outside, working on puzzles, swimming, and even watching goofy TV.
i pretty much decided i never want to live in a foreign country by myself again. i can live in a foreign country for sure. but not without family.
before we left yesterday afternoon, grandmom said to me, "we're a pretty special family. we all really like each other, in addition to loving each other"
i completely agree!
[stay tuned for more photos from friday, post-thanksgiving]
