Thankful for many things but where did the time go?

Well, here it is...the Sunday after Thanksgiving. What a wonderful holiday break from school and work. The entire family was together for Thanksgiving except for my niece, Christina. It was great to spend time with everyone and eat like kings. Thanks for all the wonderful food mom! After the feast we went through all the sale ads and made a plan for our shopping trip. Yes, we go shopping on "black Friday". This year we took it easy. We left at 5:30a.m. and got home around 9:30p.m. What a fun time we had! I haven't laughed that hard since I don't know when. On Saturday we visited some more, took the kids to the mall, and then to the parade. Today was grocery shopping, church, and some more Christmas shopping. I am a little tired and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I am thankful that I had such a wonderful break and that I have a job to go back to, I just don't know where the time went. Here's hoping that all of you had a pleasant Thanksgiving with new memories to cherish.
