We traveled to California this Thanksgiving to be with family. This picture shows four generations of Thomsons, Gary (Matt's Dad), Great Grandma Jo, Matt, and Reese. We enjoyed a day at Matt's Aunt Alane's house were she cooked and cooked and cooked! The other Aunts, Uncles, and cousins showered Reese with birthday presents, (who says you can't still celebrate your September birthday in November!) lots of attention, and picture taking. Reese was the only little person in attendance. Matt's cousin Julie even made Reese a sweater that day! While Reese took a two hour nap (she slept like a champ in new places, another thing to be thankful for!) I enjoyed looking at Thomson family photos starting in the 1940s. There is just something about learning your family's history. It is comforting, revealing and helps me to understand others better and know them more. I am quite thankful that we had this time together.
