Amazing Thanksgiving

We had an amazing Thanksgiving thanks to everyone in the photo above. Everything seemed to flow so smoothly from the flights (Lexi took long naps both there & back) to the details like feeding the army of relatives. Even shopping on Black Friday was fun (people were much more courteous there than on any regular shopping day in Miami). We had such a wonderful time that we didn't want to come back.

This trip has made me realize just how thankful I am for blogging. I had only met Steve's cousins (Jennifer, Elizabeth, and Emily) and their families once (several years ago) at a family reunion. We have been reading each others blogs for about two years though. By getting to know each other that way, there wasn't any awkwardness. It was like being with long time friends.

I experienced a similar thing when Shokufeh came to meet us. Reading about each other and seeing pictures has made me feel like we really knew each other and meeting was just a formality. Actually, she is even friendlier and cuter in person if that sounds possible.

There are many things I am thankful for this year, but this trip has made me fully realize that being addicted to blogging is actually a great thing.
