Thanksgiving 2012

Thanksgiving 2012 and we have lots to be thankful for! We have each other, our families, a home, jobs, love & most importantly, GOD. We had a low key Thanksgiving this year. We did not travel to Columbia to be with the rest of my family, but instead spent a lovely, quiet holiday with Grandma.

We slept in, had breakfast, sipped coffee and read the 709097987 lbs of sales papers! Early afternoon we headed to Grandma's house to hang out with her and get ready for our Thanksgiving dinner. This handsome boy is too cute in his Thanksgiving attire.




Since it was just the four of us (two of which don't eat very much), Dan decided that we shouldn't waste the money and food in cooking a big meal at home. Instead, he treated us to a very fancy dinner at Grill 225 at the Market Pavilion Hotel downtown. We waited patiently for our dinner reservations and had a very lovely meal. Although it wasn't exactly the usual Thanksgiving dishes, it was good none the less. Sushi on any day is good with me!

After our dinner, we decided to go to James Island for the Festival of Lights. We drove around the park and looked at all the beautiful displays. It wasn't that crowded (surprisingly enough) and we were able to get out the car and walk around the shops and through the Enchanted Forest filled with more light displays. We came across Stryker's favorite... A fire truck! He insisted I take a couple pictures.



Although it wasn't a traditional Thanksgiving holiday, it was full of fun, good food, family and most of all LOVE and GRATITUDE. We are very blessed to have each other and a wonderful life! I couldn't be more thankful for my special little man too! And it really warmed my heart to see what he is thankful for this year.
