Happy Thanksgiving

I just wanted to take a few minutes to wish everyone a very Happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for yet there's so much that I just take for granted.
I'm thankful for my God- that He loves me despite all my shortcomings
My husband- he works very hard to allow me to be home with the kids and is a great dad to them
My kids- they are such a huge part of my life- I wouldn't want to imagine what it would be like without them!
My family- I have been so blessed to be born into the family I have- I'm very thankful!
My Friends- God has truly blessed me with wonderful friends- you are a huge, huge blessing to me.
My country- I'm so very proud to be an American and so very grateful for those who sacrificed to allow me the privileges that I enjoy every day

Hope you all have a wonderful day- enjoying your family not to mention all that yummy food. Speaking of food- I'm mashed potatoes- what are you??

You Are Mashed Potatoes

Oridnary, comforting, and more than a little predictable You're the glue that holds everyone together.

What Part of Thanksgiving Are You?

Day after Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving day. My sister had the flu the night before and I was worried she wouldn't be able to be there but she was feeling much better so she could come. The whole family was together and we had a great time.
After the dinner we had a birthday party for Halle, Shaelyn, Mark, Mari and Laura. I forgot the present for Halle from Grandpa that I had at my house so Mark ran back home to get it.
She was very excited with her presents and Laura got a beautiful card with this on it.





I Didn't want to pass up the opportunity to thank her for that beautiful gift that she gave me at the shack.
Today we are putting up the Christmas decorations and lights. The kids are very excited and I will love it when it's completed and I can see everything shining at night. I love Christmas lights!

Thankful

OK- I was looking for a Thanksgiving poem and couldn't find any I liked so I'm doing my own Thankful list:

T- Turkey
H- Halle
A- Arianna
N- Nick
K- Kids
F- Family
U- Umbrellas- (sorry I was desperate!)
L- Love

OK- this was harder than I thought it would be. You take a shot at it- I'm sure yours will be better than mine.
Tomorrow we're off to celebrate Thanksgiving at my dads house. The whole family will be there this year so that will be great.
Truly, I am very thankful for all the love I have in my life. I'm surrounded by great friends and a wonderful family. I love you all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
