I love my family dearly. Which is a huge understatement. They mean so much to me, especially since we are kind of scattered all across the U.S. So when I get to spend time with them, I adore it.<\/p>\n

I drove to Spokane to celebrate an early Thanksgiving with my grandparents and uncle, and it was absolutely delightful. I spoiled them with pumpkin pies I made, received wonderful warm hugs and got to cook with grandma (which involved a hilarious turn at trying to figure out how to flatten a duck – long story – it involved a couple YouTube videos and resulted in one funny-looking duck!). Cooking with Grandma is especially dear to me since the last time I’ve really cooked with her must have been when I was eight or nine. And of course, sitting around the table, we got to regale one another with some pretty amusing stories.<\/p>\n

These are just a few portraits from my visit – they mean so much to me…and I really didn’t take nearly as many photos as I should have. Quite honestly, I don’t take nearly as many personal photos as I should and that’s something I’d like to fix in 2012. I hope you do too.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 (P.S. My apologies for the less-than-flattering self portrait. My arms are only so long.) ;)<\/p>\n
