Grateful


Today, I am grateful to have my husband with me on Thanksgiving.  This day last year, was probably the hardest day for me emotionally during his entire deployment.  Not sure why...but it hit me hard.  I felt like I was crying, or on the verge of crying, all day long.

Today, on the other hand, was a blessing.  We were home all day TOGETHER.  I stayed in my pajamas. :)  Nothing to do but be TOGETHER...and eat lots of food!


For all of our family, who we missed today--here's a little snapshot of our day...



































good things...


1. being TOGETHER (did I mention that yet?)
2. the great founders of this nation
3. the Gospel of Jesus Christ

cute, cute cookies...........we made some cupcakes that were turkeys, it was the activity for the kids at the family dinner. Doug & Tracy's girls were more into them than anyone. And I love the pumpkins! You are too creative. I want you for my Mom.
XOXO

We missed you guys, but it was so fun seeing all of you last week (thanks, Sister Jones!). It looks like you had a great day! I was thinking about your Thanksgiving last year before I even saw your post and was so overwhelmingly grateful that you're all together this year to share this best of holidays. We're sure thankful for you guys!
