So Much to Be Thankful For...

We have so much to be thankful for this year.... and our Thanksgiving festivities started early this year, with a lunchtime feast put on by Drew's preschool.

I love handprint artwork!  This one says...

This isn't just a turkey,

as you can plainly see.

I made it with my own two hands

which are part of me.

It's made with lots of love especially to say,

I hope you have a very 

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

After school we took Drew out for a special afternoon and evening - which I'll save for later blogs this week - and then on Thursday we went to my Mom and Dad's new house for Thanksgiving Dinner.

My niece Kady and I - she was having fun with Drew's Mobigo.  My sister Lisa was home sick.

And we were blessed to spend the holiday with my cousin Jodi!

It was a great night and it was wonderful to spend it with the family. 

We were even insane enough to go Black Friday shopping - but we skipped the midnight sales, and ventured out at 4:30am and were wrapped up by 8:30 for breakfast (with an extra stop for a present for Daddy and Drew).
