~Happy Thanksgiving!~
I hope that everyone has a wonderful day filled with lots of family, love, health, joy, laughter, food and drink! :)
Bryan is off hunting this morning... and I'm hoping that he (finally) gets a deer. It has been a LONG hunting season. :S
The kids and I are up and working towards getting ready for breakfast and then getting ready to go to my parents house... we are even getting chauffeured, which is very nice. My Dad will be picking us up. :)
Last night I went over to their (my parents house) to help work on food prep for today. We made the coleslaw, the sweet potatoes, peeled the white potatoes, veggie platter and stuffed celery, my mom also baked two pumpkin pies. She usually does a lot of the work, if not all, by herself, which sucks. I feel like it should be a group effort since we all enjoy eating, we should help prepare it. So today when we go over I'll try to help with other food prepping as much as I can.
On another note... there are many things I'm thankful for, and not just today, always.
Here are a few of them:
- My children
- my parents
- Bryan
- my family ~ all of it
- my friends
- our health ~ may not be the best, but we are working on it
- being able to be a SAHM (stay at home mom)

I love all their answers!!
I think they each did a good job expressing what they are thankful for. I did ask the girls "What makes you happy?" instead of what are you thankful for... I think it was easier for them to answer that way. Trevor, though, I asked him what he was thankful for because they have been talking about it in school.
