Okay, on to Thanksgiving. We were fortunate to play host and hostess for the first time this year. We just had a few friends over and it turned out great. I cooked the turkey and a brownie cake, Ryan made homemade stuffing and rolls, and our friends brought the rest (lucky huh?). The food was all delicious and the company superb.
I had fun decorating the table, my mother-in-law would be proud :)
The Chef
The jealous dogs who behaved very well in the face of a freshly roasted turkey
Happy Thanksgiving!
Besides the opportunity to enjoy yummy food and visit with friends and family, I look forward to Thanksgiving when we have the time to remember all that we are blessed with. I wanted to share a list of ten things I'm grateful for...
1- My Ryan who puts up with me, loves me, and is an excellent dad to Norris, Baby, and Jack
2- Our families who love us and stand by us no matter what
3- Our home in this free country
4- Employment...especially in Michigan
5- An education
6- My babies
7- Friends who listen and support
8- Reliable vehicles
9- Our health
10- The Gospel, which makes all the other blessings possible
This obviously is just a short list but I do realize how lucky we are and try to thank Heavenly Father every day for the countless blessings he provides. I hope you all had a fabulous holiday and were able to reflect on the things you are thankful for as well.
