Giving thanks, memories and love notes

Nine of the fourteen siblings, their families and two cousins gathered at my parent's home yesterday for Thanksgiving (a feast upon feast, as my son dubbed the event). As part of our celebrations we wrote love notes.

We had love notes in English, Spanish, pictures, Farsi and Chinese. The tween boys started some pre-football game smack talk (a whole new use for the love notes) and we discovered a few dedicated love note writers.For being surrounded by love, the volumes of memories and creating new ones, I am very grateful.
