This Thanksgiving was my first Holiday Spent away from my family! I had a hard time. I love being in Disney World but this was the hardest day! Right before we were about to leave the Animal Kingdom (the park we were in) my mom called me! She told me she was just going to senior citizen center! I started to cried and said why would you call me to tell me! It was a little funny because everyone thought something bad happened! Because I was crying! Nope I am just a big baby missing all of her favorite things! So when we went to dinner at the Grand Floridian Hotel! It really was Grand! I felt a little out of place! I was thought this is how the other half live and frankly it wasn't bettler! I would have given anything to have my feet hurt because I had been working all day and spending time with my family then stay in a hotel like that! So when we sat down to dinner I couldn't stop crying cause I missed my family! Natalie was such a dear she said Go to the bathroom! She knew I would feel better not making a seen! Dinner was very good especially the pumpkin cheese cake! Natalie in order to lighten the mood decided to have us go around the table and say what we were thankful for! I am not going to lie that made my day! Even though I was not with my family family I was with family! Kenna and I mostly cried through the whole thing but it was wonderful and I could feel everyone's love! It was great to see where Kenna had come in a year! My sister is one of the strongest women I know who has over come things that would have broke me! I was very happy to see her replace such sad memories with such happy ones! Kenna was in most pictures Disney World pictures because Alex's family would pull her in and told her to they wanted her there! No matter what happens between Kenna and Alex, the trip I think they helped to heel Kenna's heart and I will be ever greatful!
Our Thanksgiving Table! Me: Grateful to be in Disney World for Family and Friends and the creamy potatoes, Kenna: Grateful for Me and Family and Friends! Alex: Grateful for Football and Family! Ben: Ben was grateful for everyone at the table for different reasons! My favorite Cami because she is his sister and Natalie because she laughs at his jokes! Jessica: I am not going to lie she was super quite but I am sure it was family and friends! Amy: who was grateful for family! Doran: grateful for ... I can't remember but later he said I know were are not your family but we are grateful to be the 2nd best and we want you to know that we consider you family. Kenna cried and I interperated She was grateful that they loved her! Cami: who was grateful for what we had been given she had been given what she needed (should sound like a song) and Berkley! Berkley: who was grateful for Cami. Natalie (taking the picture) who was grateful for Family and Friends (she started it all and it made me cry)! (PS the quotes may not be exact but somewhat close it has been over a month)
This is our Family picture in front of one of the best trees I have ever seen indoors! The photographer asked how many and when we said 30 he said we could all fit! Clearly from the picture there is more room! I think he just got used to taking all the rich people's family photos with a max number of people of like 4 or 5! Boy they don't know what they are missing!
