This was the first Thanksgiving I had ever spent without anyone from my "biological" family present. I guess I now know how my kids feel when they have a holiday with "the in-laws". The Prince and I realize things can become a little complicated... sharing our time between our kids. The bottom line is, it is our time now and as long as we are together, everything else will fall into place.
It was a little strange, at first, being the only 'outsider' at a major holiday dinner. However, the "C-Unit" is indeed very charming (it's in their genes) and they made me feel wanted and welcome. It was fun to hear them tell me stories about Prince Charming - as only an offspring could tell. I am sure I had heard some of these stories from the Prince in the past, but their versions are what I will always remember.
PC's grandchildren were there - 19 months, 25 months and 5 yrs old. Imagine my delight, being on the floor, interacting with the 3 of them! There is nothing sweeter than an unsolicited hug from a child.
I don't recall much about the food or drink. I barely remember the 4 hours in the car that day. What I will never forget is how I felt as I went to bed that night. Everyone sleeps better when they have a content heart.
