Family

This Thanksgiving (and all year), I am incredibly thankful for family. No one loves you, supports you, angers you, pushes you, and stands by you like family does. Families have all different faces, colors, shapes, and sizes. Not only am I thankful for the family I grew up with, but for those who have been added to the fold over the years: my husband, my closest friends who are the sisters I never had, and my wonderful in-laws. Life is not perfect and neither am I, so I am especially grateful for the support, love, and forgiveness my entire family practices. Though our family gatherings always remind us of those we miss, it makes the time I have with those who are here even more special. So this Thanksgiving, worry less about if the table settings are perfect and more about spending quality time with those you love and call your "family."
Here are some photos of those I hold dear. Happy Thanksgiving!
