Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving 20011!

This morning I was planning on sleeping in. We prepped for our dinner yesterday, and the turkey won't go into the oven until about 10:00, so no need to get out of bed super early. At least that is what I thought. However, a sweet someone in my extended family, sent me a Happy Thanksgiving message. It wasn't even 6:00 AM our time when I got the message. I had to laugh... and get out of bed.

When I woke up, my thoughts went to... oh this is hubby's birthday. The next thought... my father-in-law passed away 4 years ago today. We miss him greatly.

We have most of our family home for this holiday. D&M are not here... they aren't even together on their first Thanksgiving as Mr&Mrs, because he is on the road today.

Back here at home, it is feeling like a holiday. We spent yesterday prepping for our Thanksgiving dinner. The house smells of pumpkin pie... my absolute favorite scent for the home. Well... the turkey, stuffing, and all the other sides make the house smell pretty yummy. The littles are still sleeping, and my guys are out playing football for their annual turkey bowl game. The hubby is wearing a referee's shirt...

I have so much to be thankful for this year. We are blessed with so much, a warm and cozy home large enough to entertain our family, plenty of food, and most of all family and friends, love, laughter, and joy.

I wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving day...
