Sunriver Thanksgiving 2019

Traveling on Thanksgiving has never seemed like a good idea to me and Ty has long tried to convince me otherwise. This year we decided to give it a go and planned a trip to Sunriver with my family. We rented a house and our hopes for snow came true.

We crammed 16 people (including my almost 90 year old grandparents, sadly not pictured) into a beautiful rental and had a wonderful time. Sledding, ice skating, hot toddies and time with family is everything a holiday should be. Erin, Manda and I made leftse for the first time, a tradition from the Wilhelm family that I've always wanted to keep alive. And we celebrated Owen's 7th birthday.

Suddenly it seems silly not to travel for Thanksgiving. A long weekend that everyone has off of work makes perfect sense. I'm hopeful we'll be able to make this the new norm. Gratitude continues to be the resounding song of my heart. I'm thankful for my people every day.
