The other day I tweeted this …
I am so thankful for my family for all their mad, insane, crazy, passionate, lovable, fierce, protective ways!! I love them all soooo much!
And, I really meant it … and then some.
We’ve had our fair share of the crazy, but at the end of the day we always find our way back to each other because, well … we’re family and that’s how we roll.
I am also eternally grateful for the many wonderful and varied friendships the boys and I have made over the years.
This year’s Thanksgiving the boys and I will be sitting down together like we do every year and eating turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots and brussesls. But, there will no pumpkin pie. In its place, we’ll be noshing on a slice of Bramley apple pie with fresh cream.
I’ll be giving thanks for our wonderful family and friends and the wonderful times we shared before we left …

Your Twitter image didn’t load on my computer, so I had to scroll through about 2 days worth of tweets to see what it was. Of course, I HAD to. Curiosity got the best of me.
I think I found it: “I am so thankful for my family for all their mad, insane, crazy, passionate, lovable, fierce, protective ways!! I love them all soooo much!”
Awwww That’s so sweet. I am thankful for Mum’s mad organizing and baby loving skillz.
I’m grateful for a wonderful, supportive family and friends who are there for you through it all.

Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Is there some modified version of the holiday over there, or are you just celebrating despite where you are?
It’s great to have a lot to be thankful for.
I am thankful that Ruth and myself made it on the final cut, lol. I am thankful for my life and all the ups and downs we share. Love to you and your family, Happy Thanksgiving. X
This brought tears to my eyes
I’m so happy to hear you’re settling in well, the boys have witnessed snow and I’m so jealous of you lot up north and your close friendships, if only I could move Kent just a bit. Please let me know if you’re ever in London
