Every year, for the past 6 years, we have traveled back to Ohio to spend Thanksgiving with the Shempp/Parks side of the family. I am truly blessed to have married into such a large and loving family. They love being together and boy... do they know how to have a party! I love how each year Thanksgiving becomes a reunion of family & friends from across the country. Pete's Grandparents and Aunt Emily fly from New York, the Davis and Dobbs families from Florida, us from Texas and an extra special visit for me, from my parents…hailing from South Carolina. It makes this time of year so special for us. James had a blast with all his relatives and partied harder then all of us combined. How truly thankful I am for family, travel, health and happiness.
