We actually spent Thanksgiving day at Dave and Chassie\u2019s new house and celebrated with Dave, Chassie, Locke and part of Chassie\u2019s family. It was really nice to spend the day with family and there was a bit (probably a lot) of excitement anticipating the arrival of the twins\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s never too late to be thankful, and I am. Some years I make a list of all the things I\u2019m thankful for, but this year the list would be far too long\u2026.
