Thanksgiving Turkey.....
thanks to my dad!!
Just Chillin before all arrive....
Well the day is coming to an end and it was a spectacular Thanksgiving.....the only thing that could have made it better would be to have my sister, brother, and their families here to celebrate with us.
We had Thanksgiving dinner at our home this year.....it was only stressful for me right before dinner (which is usual because I want everything to go perfect, be hot, taste good, etc...etc...). Anyway after all that drama for me, we sat down, (I calmed down) and enjoyed being with family. We were able to share the holiday with most of Chris's side of the family as well as my parents. We are so grateful that our children have the opportunity to grow up around their family members.
We started a new trandition this year (thanks to Joy) where we wrote down what we were thankful for, put them in the basket, and went around the table taking turn reading each others. It was really fun and I want to keep it going every year, since this is what Thanksgiving is all about.
Thanks to God today for bringing us together......we miss those who are no longer with us......and those far distances.....
Also, the most memorable times for me this Thanksgiving were three things:
1. Chris's prayer
2. Zach being thankful for family and God.
3. Luke being with us for his first Thanksgiving.
Once again, I am reminded........we are blessed!!!
