thankful

a glimpse at a few of the {many} things we had to be thankful for this Thanksgiving...

*An opportunity to spend the holidays with my husband's family that didn't end like last year! It was {mostly} illness-free...
*A successful "turkey frying" experience. My sweet hubby wanted to add some excitement to the Thanksgiving Day festivities so he suggested we fry a turkey - something none of us had done before. I'm delighted to report that it was delicious!

*Beyond thankful and grateful for this little guy! We are overflowing with gratitude to our Lord for our first Thanksgiving as a family of 5...
*The most amazing cheesecake I think I've ever tasted...

*Matching PJ's and precious kiddos...

*Our annual hay-ride to find the perfect Christmas tree...


*The privilege of parenting these precious munchkins. And the chaos that comes with an attempted photo shoot...
