Thanksgiving in Indiana

How lovely it was to return to my hometown for Thanksgiving with my whole family! Chase and I flew in on Tuesday, arrived about 4PM, and stayed until Friday evening. All of my brothers and sisters were home on Thanksgiving (the farthest one only lives about 30 min away). I was really excited that both my grandmothers came as well! Grandma Jean drove from Illinois, and Grandma Jackson barely made it because of a knee injury, they were both determined to come!

My family's tradition for Thanksgiving is to spend it with our cousins from my mom's side. My mom's sister, Aunt Pam and her husband Uncle Alan, have 6 kids, so both our families getting together is a lot of fun. We switch where it's held almost every year too, some years in Vincinnes, others in Zionsville. In recent years, since we've all grown up (our youngest cousin on that side is 23), not everyone can make it back for Thanksgiving. But since several of us have gotten married in the last year, it's kept the size of the party up!
