This year for Thanksgiving we opted not to make our own turkey here at home. Instead we plan to go down to Virginia to visit our three nieces. The eldest of the three girls was really excited to hear we are coming and sent me a text message as soon as she found out. I’m looking forward to visit them too because I know they get home sick being so far away from all the family in Texas. I’m also glad because Aleria will get to see her cousins again. She loves being around other kids, and this will be a good chance go crazy. After all, Thanksgiving is a family event.
