Family at Heart

Well, it’s hard to know where to start when I think of everything that I am thankful for.  I thank God everyday for my sweet little girl and my husband, for my mom, mother-in-law and our entire families, for our home and business, for our dear friends.  My list truly goes on and on.  We enjoyed a wonderful day together and had a great dinner too.  I served turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, baked and green beans, corn, rolls, and cranberry sauce.  I followed it all up with chocolate pie for A and I and pumpkin pie for Hubby.  We were blessed with a great dinner and with being able to share the day together.  I just love Thanksgiving.  Thanks be to Him who has provided us with such a beautiful family and life.  I vow to never take it for granted and to cherish it everyday.

And to top off our great day, UT beat the Aggies.  Good Thanksgiving indeed!

Her favorite is the chocolate pie. She gets to lick the bowl and whisk when I am finished.

The turkey was delicious!

We used our new dishes that I got late last year. We also drank out of wine goblets

Waiting to be served...

It was truly yummy! Great dinner and great day!

I did have a funny story to add to all of this sentimental stuff…I picked A up from school earlier this week and she had a huge paper turkey to bring home with her.  She had written something she was thankful for on each of the turkey’s feathers (long strips of paper).  The whole thing was very cute indeed.  Some of the things she’s thankful for…

…her sweet parents

…toys

…candy

…several classmates’ names

and last but not least,….boogers
