"The kids keep watch out the front window, and when the first car pulls up, they yell, 'They're here!' which starts the dog barking and running in wild circles. The front door opens to snow and hugs and wool scarves smelling of cold, and in tumble small chhildren, followed by moms and dads carrying bowls of cranberry relish and pans with still-warm bread. Everyone kisses their hellos, pulls off coats and mittens, and the dog just keeps on barking, gleeful at the chaos, at the front hall piled with snowy boots, at family, together again."
Cullen Bailey Burns
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
