Non-Traditional Thanksgiving





Yes, it was a very non-traditional Thanksgiving day as my friend said this morning! BUT, so much to be thankful for . . . my hubby is home, I have a beautiful new baby along with 3 other amazing kids, I live in a beautiful area of California, I get to do the job I love (raising my children), I have a house that covers my head and keeps me warm, I have a husband who is my best friend, I have amazingly supportive parents, and the list could go on and on.

The day was non-traditional in that we did not have a big feast. Instead, I spent some of the morning with the kids and a friend and her son as our hubby's hit the books because they are nose deep in writing papers before the end of the quarter. The beach was absolutely breath takingly beautiful!!! There were A LOT of people with the same idea as us . . . Thanksgiving at the beach. At lunch time Babe and I went back down to the beach and ate at a American burger resteraunt and that was a lot of fun. The kids got to play with the robotic dinosaur Gabriel finially saved up enough money for and bought last night and they had a lot of fun doing that. The dinosaur is pretty realistic and some ways which makes it all the more fun.
