I am Thankful....

You can't help but really contemplate how blessed you are at this time of year. Here are a few of the things that I am most thankful for:

#1 This guy, need I say more?

This is as we were preparing to brine the bird


#2 This girl, could she be any sweeter?

She is enjoying cruising around in this bad boy

This is how we found her yesterday after her nap
Apparently it's time to raise the rail

Thanks to Auntie Jackie for the cute bracelet and shoes


#3 Knowing that I get to be with these two forever




#4 Great new friends, food, and laughter

Here's our Turkey.... Chris dressed it pretty well didn't he. Don't mind the fact that the drumsticks and wings all fell off during the transfer from the roaster to the platter so we had to use skewers to hook everything back on!


These were the place cards I put together

Here's our delicious spread of bounteous goodness.

Thanks Curtiss and Miller's. After all our eating we sat down to play some games and at one point during Balderdash almost the entire table was crying from laughing so hard. It was awesome!

Samantha is so adorable....the raw turkey on Chris' arm...not so delicious looking. The finished product looked fantastic! I'm sure everything tasted great!

You outdid yourself on the turkey, food, AND the placecards! So fun! I LOVE your grass and am jealous about your good weather. We're getting cold now!
