Before my mom moved to Louisiana, every year we would take the girls to the circus the night before Thanksgiving. Sinobia doesn't remember this annual event, because she was only 4 when her Nana moved away. Gabby, our circus lover, fondly remembers theses days and missed them terribly.
This year, I bought tickets to the circus for the girls. Eric opted out of this exciting event (smart man/lucky man), so it was just us girls.
Half way through the show, I realized that this was an event that I had not really missed all that much, but I could tell that the girls were loving every minute of it (except for the elephant smell)! I mostly missed my mom taking part in this event with us. She would be all smiles, spoiling the girls with cotton candy and light-up twirly toys, enjoying their excitement more than the circus itself.
I'm not sure if this is a tradition that we will uphold every year...maybe every 5 or 10 years:)
Here's to love, family, traditions, fond memories and the circus.
Happy Thanksgiving!
