Happy Thanksgiving

Wednesday evening when Steve and I went to pick up Justin and Jenny from the Sitka Airport, we witnessed the 3rd biggest crowd in Sitka. 3rd behind the Alaska Day parade and the Stardust Ball. There at the one and only gate was a group of Sitkans gathered to welcome friends and family for the Thanksgiving holiday.

It felt so good to be able to see our son and daughter-in-law and to finally have the first visitors here with us in Alaska. Sitka had some tremendous amounts of snow the previous few days and although the air was rather crisp and cold it was the warmest I have felt since moving here.

For Thanksgiving we all celebrated with our good friends and neighbors, John, Jenn, Collin and Dominic. The day was clear and cold and that evening was one of the most beautiful sunsets we've seen yet.

Hope your holidays were special as well.
