The month of gratitude. What can I say? My life has been blessed in immeasurable ways. I am so very thankful, mostly for the people in my life. They are my true source of happiness. My family and my friends are my heart.How grateful I am to be a mother and wife. I know how important the role I play is in the lives of my family, and I am thankful for this special purpose and responsibility. My heart is full of gratitude for the many blessings I recieve each day from good health, my warm home, groceries, vehicles, the great outdoors, a funny husband I can laugh through life with, and moments with my sweet and very special children.
May they always know how much I love them.
Violet's preschool Thanksgiving party...
Violet had a preschool thanksgiving party, here she is pulling kissy faces with her good friend Hannah. You gotta love their cute pilgrim hats they made!
Making treats with Ryker and Claire. Rykes was off track so he got to tag along too.
Cute Ryker and Jonah sharing an apple and popcorn while watching the charlie brown thanksgiving movie.
Look for my little pilgrim! These preschoolers are so sweet. We love having our parties with preschool friends!
First time cutting down a real live christmas tree! These kids were so excited to search the forest for the perfect christmas tree. I was too, what a fun time it was! I don't think i'll be able to go back to my old fake again. This might be the beginning of a new christmas tradition.
Jonah had fun running through the forest...
We got to pick any tree we wanted, there were alot to choose from. Big fat ones, skinny tall ones, dark green, light green, the possibilities were endless!
We felt like this beauty was for us. Tall, skinny, not too perfect and a wonderful shade of blue-green. So then Gary begin to saw it down!
We had so much fun decorating our real live, too tall for our star to fit on top tree!
THANKSGIVING
This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our place with Gary's side of the family. It was so much fun eating, relaxing, talking, and playing games all day. The cousins played non-stop and the food was amazing! I didn't try one thing that I didn't like. Homemade stuffing, triple chocolate creme pie, mashed potatoes, gravy, homemade rolls, yummy salad, and much more! How wonderful it was!
Violet was too excited for all of these yummy goods. Ryker ate a great deal of turkey and chocolate pie. Jonah bugs took a long nap after his feast!
Grandma Andi with Vi and Jonah. Ryker was busy playing with cousins. I wish I could have gotten more pictures but I was too lazy after all my eating. Now to hit the gym on Monday!
