Happy Thanksgiving

Today we celebrated Thanksgiving with Trace's family in Elkhart.  He has to work tomorrow on Thanksgiving Day so we decided to celebrate a day early.  We had a wonderful day and were thankful the weather cooperated for our travels. 

I am thankful for:

* Jesus loving us so much and dying for our sins.
* My loving husband.
* Our angel daughter, Aubriana
* My parents.
* My brothers & sister.
* My In-laws.
* My positive upbringing.
* My awesome family (all of them).

* Ellie.
* Our friends.
* Our healing.
* Health.
* Our church.
* Grace & Mercy.
* Our jobs.
* Finances
* Our many, daily blessings.
* Our home.
* Our faith.
* Safety.
* Our freedom.
* Endless love.

The list goes on and on.  I am thankful for oh, so much!  Even the littlest things like starburst jelly beans, candy corn & peanuts, seasons, popcorn, foot rubs and back rubs from my awesome husband, smells, lights, music, dancing, singing, kisses, hugs, friendship, parties, pictures, transportation, clothes, sunshine, snow, vacation, sleep, etc.  I know there is a lot I haven't listed, but I am so THANKFUL!!

 Let's eat!  We had a spread of delicious food.  Joan & Grandma Alice are great in the kitchen.
 All homemade desserts:  Chocolate pie, cheesecake, and pumpkin pie with made from scratch pecan crust.  Joan, you outdid yourself!!
 Aubri got her very own little chocolate pie!
 Her 1st bite.
 While Grandma Alice, Jolita, Uncle Terry, and myself broke out a game of Pay Me, Grandma Joanie took Aubri in for some craft time!
 She likes to wear Grandma's glasses while she works.
 It's a giraffe...not quite finished.  She helps glue and then colors it.

Happy Thanksgiving
to all of my family and friends!
