happy thanksgiving, buddies!
this year more than others i've been so crazy about thanksgiving.  i don't think it gets enough credit.  a lot of times it's something people try to get past so we can really start celebrating christmas.  but i just can't get over how beautiful the idea of taking a whole day aside to reflect on every gift with people you cherish is.  and there are so many.  ugh, so many.

here are some pictures from our day.  i wanted to make sure to document a few moments because i always appreciate looking back on them.  we spent the day at grandma & grandpa speich's and for the first time in a few years (we're usually at our other grandparents' for thanksgiving), everyone from that side of the family was there!  not one missin!  isn't that neat?

^^ snapped a little pic of grandma & grandpa as we were leaving, cuz i love them so much and there's no one like them and i know i'll miss moments like this.

hope you guys got to rest & reflect & spend the day with dearly loved ones and maybe some dearly loved food (ha).

oh thank you, Jesus.
thank You, Jesus.
thank You, Jesus.
thank You, Jesus.

(PSA: currently, i'm sitting in my fam's living room watching elf by the fireplace.  it's a good day to be alexi speich.)
