Thankful!

Sam and I made it through our first Thanksgiving alone with the kiddos this year. One thing I am definitely thankful for this year is having had help and guidance with cooking Thanksgiving dinner the past 7 years since we have been married! It is a lot of work, and I am not sure I would have had any idea what to do with the turkey without the help of my mom and mother-in-law in the past.
Unfortunately, we could not go down to Florida and it did not work out for family to come up here this year, but we still had a great time and enjoyed getting to teach Hannah all about Thanksgiving.

We have so much to be thankful for this year:
- We have two beautiful, healthy children who bring so much joy and happiness to our lives every day!
- Sam and I both have jobs that provide for us, are secure and that we love.
- Our wonderful and supportive family and friends.
- We were able to move this year into a great home for our family and into a neighborhood that we really like that is super family friendly.
- We found a church to attend this year and made time so that I can now attend with the family on Sundays.
- We have successfully been able to rent out our previous home to good tenants so that we are able to move into some place better suited for our family.

Our turkey came out just perfect! While it was cooking we kept the little ones entertained outside since it was such a perfect fall day.





Check out this turkey....this picture looks like it should be in a magazine or something. Yum!

Hannah would not eat anything except some cornbread, which was kind of disappointing, but Reagan tried it all and loved it! It was straight to the bathtub for her after dinner!
