Thanksgiving in Oklahoma

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It sounds like an Oklahoma cliche, but my extended family (many of whom still ranch or farm) gathers in droves out in the country, where we eat and tell stories. Afterwards, we regroup into a smaller family unit with my Aunt Donna, my cousins, and my two favorite ankle-biters, and go out to see my parents' horses. It's a day for relishing simple pleasures and something I always look forward to. I took some pictures with my phone, and they just seemed to sum up the day.
