Thankful, to be appreciative, the reason we celebrate Thanksgiving. There is so much to be thankful for in our lives, so much to thank God for. We may not have everything in our lives that we dream of but we have a life the God has created for us and we are beyond thankful for the many blessings He has provided for us this year. I am thankful to serve an amazing God who my children love as well, thankful for family that is always there for us for love and support, thankful for friends that make our lives filled with laughter and great memories, thankful for a great school that our kids attend and the families we have met. We are thankful that one of us gets to stay at home with our children, a blessing that comes with struggles but yet is so much more than just overcoming the struggles. Thankful we have a home and food on our plates every night, and thankful that we have warm beds to lay our heads on. Thankful for a job that I get to go to everyday and feel like they are my other family. Thankful for kids who are well mannered, love Jesus and having a big heart for others. I can go on and on about all the blessings that we are thankful for, but most of all I am thankful for my husband and children who brighten my world everyday!
Taelor had a Thanksgiving play at school which was so cute and her if your ears weren't listening you might have missed the quiet little voice from our sweet little pilgrim!
We had 2 Thanksgiving dinners this year, one with my side of the family and then on Thanksgiving day we hosted just the four of us. Even though I could do without preparing and cooking the turkey (not something a vegetarian wants to do), our Thanksgiving meal was perfect. These were the things we are thankful for:
Daddy: My family, health and faith
Mommy: my family, God and our house
Taelor: family, nice food and a house to keep us warm
Ethan: my sister, mommy & daddy and pup (his stuffed animal)
I love Thanksgiving I love that it is the start of the holiday season and hopefully the start of fall weather (we do live in So Cal so I am not sure how much "fall" weather we will get). Hope you all had a blessed Thanksgiving and we are thankful for all of you!
