Thankful Thanksgiving!



It was a terrific turkey day yesterday!  We had my parents over and Mom cooked the turkey at her house - made life a little easier for me to get all the sides in my oven.  I prepped and pre-cooked much the day before.  Ah - I am doing this from now on.  So much more relaxing than doing everything on the same day.  I managed to have everything done at the same time so all was piping hot - that makes me happy.  What a feast!  We were all stuffed and now with leftovers I won't be cooking until Monday:)

Much to be thankful for during this time of the year:

My husband who works his butt off at both his job and at our house (he's working through the weekend to make some extra $ and missing out on football and leftovers)

My kids!  What can I say - we are truly blessed and lucky.  E- and M- are awesome in every way.

My parents.  We all are happy to have them near by and enjoy sharing our lives with them.

Family.  In-Laws, Sister, Brother, Sister-In-Law, and niece and nephews.  Even though we don't see much of them we are blessed with wonderful and supportive family.

Friends.  Both near and (mostly) far.  I am happy have made and kept such good friends throughout the years (especially with all our moves).  Keeping up with you all brings me much joy!

My house!  I love this house, this yard, this kitchen!  Most definitely my favorite in all our years.

My marriage -  20 years in January!  How lucky to have a fun, loving, supportive, helpful, good-looking, husband who makes me happy every day:)  

Health.  No medicine, no colds, no sleep problems, no allergies.  A life of moderation and green chiles must be doing something:)

Being a "stay-at-home" mom.  I am very thankful to be able to stay home, teach, love, and enjoy every moment with my children.  Not always an easy task, but definitely something that I cherish and always will!  

Happy Thanksgiving - 
Ann
