Giving Thanks

This Thanksgiving has been a special one for us for a couple of reasons.  First off, it's the first one we've spent with a good portion of my side of the family in over five years.  We had dinner over at my parents house, where we were joined by my dad's parents and his oldest sister's family.

After dinner there was another special treat that J and I weren't expecting...

...we were given a bassinet originally made by my grandfather (Grandpa Keith, who was present) and used by my three younger cousins when they were born.  We also received a beautiful blanket knit by my grandmother.

The name of each child who has used it is etched in to the wooden bottom.  Our's will be the forth listed and the first great grandchild to use it.  It was especially meaningful to have my grandfather there as my aunt and uncle handed it down to us to use. 

Everyone should be so blessed.
