Thankful.

Wow, I am so thankful for so many things! We were so excited to spend thanksgiving with all of our family. We had an early thanksgiving with mom and dad and Jess and Johnny the weekend before thanksgiving that had lots of turkey, dressing, and a fun golf game. We had a great time just hanging out and remembering the many blessings in our lives. We also were able to go up to Longview on thanksgiving to spend a few days with more family.
It was a bittersweet day, having to deal with a death in the family of a dear uncle of my mother in law. But, one of the blessings that came from the visitation and funeral was the large number of people that came to show their love for him and his family. He was a loved man who touched many lives and for that I am thankful. Joey spoke very highly of him saying that he was such a rock within the family.
We celebrated the thanksgiving day with turkey, ham, and a billion yummy casseroles that we got to eat on for the next few days. I love good food!!! Oh, and I didn't mention the desserts! Between the two thanksgivings we had
apple pie
pecan pie
pound cake
more apple pie
banana cream pie
gingerbread cookies
more pecan pie

It was a wonderful holiday! Thanks to all our family who just made our holiday so special!!! We are so blessed.

What are you thankful for?
