What’s goin’ on, guys? You ready for this Thanksgiving? I sure hope all of you have a good one.

Personally, Thanksgiving is very special holiday for me. It’s one of my favorites, because I have SO MUCH to be thankful for: I’m thankful for my wife -- I’m thankful for these beautiful kids I have -- I’m thankful for my entire Family -- I’m thankful for my health -- I’m thankful for my teammates who have made playing with the Bears such a great pleasure -- I’m thankful for so much that, if I was to keep writing, you’d be reading all day...

Then, of course, I’m thankful that Thanksgiving gives me a good reason to eat reeeeal well. I’ll definitely be doing my thing at the dining table, this year.  Our friend, Gwen Broden, invited my family and I over to her house to celebrate, so we’re going to be taking her up on that offer. She lives right across the street from us, and that woman knows how to THROW DOWN.

I value every moment I have spending time with my wife, kids, family and friends, so this is going to be a very good Thanksgiving, because I’ll be with all of them. I hope all of you will be enjoying yourself as much as I will...

Happy Thanksgiving and keep BEAR’IN DOWN!!!
