Holidays are filled with family traditions. For some, it’s serving the same style of cranberry sauce every year. For others, it’s a game of touch football in the front yard. One tradition most people carry out is declaring what they are thankful for each year.
Pierpont would also like to declare what we are thankful for in 2009. The responses below are from Pierponters in Houston, Austin, Dallas and San Antonio.
We wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
