Thanksgiving was awesome.  Here are just a few of the things I’m thankful for.  (And yes we ate Thanksgiving dinner on the patio, AZ is awesome, it’s okay to be jealous.)

Every year someone retells the same story.  One of my elementary school teachers asked everyone in the class to tell what their family’s Thanksgiving Day tradition was.  I said that the tradition in our family was to wear pants with expandable waist bands.  Whenever someone wears non-expandable pants they get chided, “Don’t you know the tradition?” 

This year few of us wore the traditional attire, myself included.  But it works out fine, I’m extremely lucky, and thankful, to have a family that won’t bat an eye when you throw back too much stuffing and have to pop that top button.
