We had such a great Thanksgiving. It started Wednesday evening. After work, we celebrated Thanksgiving with Brian's parents. Brenda made her famous homemade pizza, which was, or course, delicious!! We spent the evening with Brian's parents and brothers and Stella entertained us all!
Thursday morning we took off for Indianapolis to celebrate Thanksgiving with my family. We had a blast. Lacey and Jerome were excellent hosts! They had a houseful of people in their brand new, beautiful home.....thank you guys so much!!
Throughout this weekend, it just became clear how much we truly have to be thankful for. God has blessed our family. Some things that we are so very thankful for:
1. Our two little girls who make us smile each and every day.
2. Each other.
3. Our parents. Knowing that our parents will be there for us whenever we need is so very comforting.
4. Our siblings: we love all of them!!
5. Our nieces and nephews. I can't believe how quickly they are all growing up. Each and every one of them has their own personality and I love them all!
6. A house we can call a home.
7. Jobs. Not only jobs, but jobs that we enjoy and provide for our family.
8. Our health. This is probably one that we take for granted and can change so quickly. I have been reminded to thank God each and every day for each day that my family has good health and that we can be together creating memories.
10. My grandparents. I know I am fortunate to have 3 grandparents left that my kids to get meet and love.
As you can see, this list goes on and on, and I could keep going! We had a blast this weekend. Christmas will be here before we know it, so we better get ready!
As you can see below, Stella couldn't wait to begin playing with her "Christmas at Thanksgiving" presents!!!

I have to laugh...I have a picture of Carlie (age 2) in her Dora pajamas at Christmas time at mom & dad's. She even had her roller skates on, with an umbrella (all presents). I love, love, love that picture!!
