This year we are going to be flying to San Antonio, Texas for Thanksgiving with the Sharp side of the family. We decided to celebrate early with our family here in Raleigh! The Sunday before Thanksgiving, we celebrated. We ate dinner this year! Usually we eat at lunch time because the Cone side of the family loves to eat and can never wait until dinner! It actually worked out great and we had a wonderful time!

I has always loved being with my family as it brings warm childhood memories to me of my Mama cooking for us! Although the food was wonderful (we cooked it) Don doing all of the baking that included Mama Dips Pecan Pie, Chocolate Chess Pie and Pumpkin Bread, being with the family was the best part! Uncle Kenneth played with Eden in her bouncy house a very long time! Jamie and Cady who have grown up to be beautiful smart young ladies entertain Eden as well. She loved every bit of it and even told her teachers all about her day with family!
LeAnne: The only thing that would have made my Thanksgiving more special this year would have been to have my Mama present. I thought about her a lot this Thanksgiving and how much she would have loved Eden! I know that she would have picked out just the special little nick name for her!
She would have be so proud to show off all her cute little pictures to her friends at the beauty shop and goodness knows the sweet smocked dresses and baby dolls she would have ask me to pick out for her! Eden must have know that I was thinking about her because she ask me the day after our celebration where my Mama was. I sweetly told her that she was in Heaven and she said that she wanted to see her. I know that she will get to one day! So this Thanksgiving I am thankful to have had a wonderful Mama and thankful that I know how to pass her love on to Eden. We are off to celebrate again in Texas.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
