post thanksgiving interlude

Ask me how my thanksgiving was and you will watch me struggle to find words to describe how incredible it was! You see, I had the chance to play outside in the streams, puddles and leaves scattered on a fraser valley mountainside. I was also able to visit the destruction of last year's storm at stanley park, and stand in trees as wide as I am tall-the devastation was staggering! We meandered over broken shells, rocks, seaweed, starfish, and sand as we enjoyed a sunny day at the beach in October... oh how I love the beach every day of the year! My absolute highlight though had to have been our thanksgiving feast! And while the food was fantastic (thanks mom) the best part of it all were the 21 random friends we had join us for the celebration! The people there were fantastically diverse and unbelievably hilarious. It was a steady stream of laughter from the moment they stepped into the house until the moment we all went to bed and stopped giggling about the events of the night! For me 'Family Thanksgiving' was completely redefined this Monday-I cannot help but wonder what Christmas will be like!
