Happy Turkey Day!!!

Happy Thanksgiving! I have so very much to be thankful for this year, as always! I know I have not been the most faithful blogger, but I will try to make up for it :) We hosted Thanksgiving dinner at our house for the first time this year. I was a little nervous, because let's face it--I've never cooked a turkey before. It was an amazing time with family and friends!

The guys started the gaming right away...Mario Kart!

While the grown-ups do all the work :)

Marko working on the ham

This was our "appetizer" table...which later became our dessert table!

Proof (as awful as the pic is) that I actually was "cooking" haha.

And Angie cheesing while she helped me :)

Our finished products...Mmmmm.

Jalen with his puppies!

Uncle Noah and Alana...and Scooter

We are all in some deep conversation here lol.

And then back to the Wii...but where is Justin?

Found him!

The sugar highs running rampant!

I...can't...stop!!!

Angie and Sadie

Angie and Jeremy...once the Navy let him join us!

This was Bradford pretty much all day...I swear if we had washable markers, I would've had some fun. We wanted to make sure he could get back on the ship tonight, though lol.

Hillary and Mike

Yeah, I am cool.

I am thankful for him :)

Along with all of the cheesy elementary school decorations we put up (on purpose), I made these posters. Everyone had to write at least one thing they were thankful for on it by their name. I'm a dork, yes...but it made everyone HAVE to think about it.

I am so completely thankful for my God and everything that He has blessed me with. I am thankful for my family and my friends...the ones that were here today, as well as those I haven't seen in forever! I am thankful that I had so much food to eat that I shouldn't have to eat again til next year. I am thankful for my little girl that I had to carry up to bed after her turkey coma kicked in and she passed out on the couch. I am thankful for my amazing husband and his friends that serve our country so that we can be free. I am thankful that he also loves the Lord with all his heart and makes me want to be a better person. I am thankful for the newest additions to our home, Scooter and Sadie--who have brought all of us a little more joy. There are so many things I have to be thankful for. If you are reading this...YOU are one of them!

I...AM...THANKFUL!!!

Peace, Love and Gobble gobble.
