It is the infamous black Friday, though it is not as dismal at the name eludes to. In fact there are so many wonderful things to be thankful for. Family is a big thing that I am thankful for this year along with every year. Within the past few years our family has grown and I am sure will continue to do so. I am thankful for every new member to this family, whether it was the brother and sister in laws or of course my own husband... and who can forget the little guys that are now part of the family. And with the addition of each new member of the family the old ones have always done an amazing job embracing the newbies. I am especially appreciative of this when I see how well Michael gets along with everyone in the family. It is fun to see how Brian and him cab play games for hours or how all Connor can talk about is that he plays soccer with Michael or when Andy helped make a traditional Cuban meal or how my dad and him spend hours talking computer and trading ideas or how he talks with Sarah all the way down in Nicaragua or even how my mom says he is the sweetest man thinking he can do no wrong... little does she know hehehe. It is a true blessing to be able to incorporate him into the family I knew growing up, one that changed with time (to include people I love like my own family) and to know that some day I will get to experience the same with his family in Cuba. So this holiday season it is family I am most thankful for and I think that is how it will always be.
