Happy Thanksgiving 2009!

What a wonderful Thanksgiving! We are SO thankful that all the kids were here to share in our celebration, as well as my mom and brother, Chad! A friend of Mike's even stopped by too!

I'm usually so nervous about entertaining/throwing a party. I worry myself needlessly about how the event will go. Will everyone have a good time? Will the food turn out o.k.? Etc. Etc... But I have to say even though we had twice the number of people as usual, everything went really well. The food was really good-yummy turkey & stuffing, Mike! Everyone seemed to enjoy the side dishes I prepared. And we had a wonderful time sharing the day together. Later that night my dad called and we talked for at least an hour~it really was the perfect ending to a wonderful day(thanks dad-can't wait to see you at Christmas!)

I have much to be thankful for this year, & I am reminded of all my blessings especially on this day!
