Mr. Turkey aka Batman/Thanksgiving

I know this is late. But, better late than never, right? A few weeks ago, Lily brought home a turkey that we were supposed to "disguise" as a family. It was a homework assignment from her kindergarten teacher. The idea was to disguise the turkey so that he wouldn't get eaten for Thanksgiving dinner. We had a lot of fun disguising her turkey as Batman.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year with Coult's family. We had lots of yummy food and had a great time visiting his side of the family. I love Thanksgiving because it's always nice to be reminded of all the things I have to be grateful for. Here are just a few of them:

~My wonderful husband, Coult. He is such a loving, supportive person and I'm grateful that he is there for me and our girls. He means more to me than words can say.
~Our two beautiful daughters, Natalie and Lily. Having children has taught me more about love than I can possibly explain. I can't imagine my life without them.
~Our loving and supportive extended family. Coult and I are very blessed to have such wonderful extended family who are always there for us.
~The true gospel of Jesus Christ. Without the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life, I wouldn't have been able to make it through some of the trials I have had. It gives me great peace and happiness.
~My life and the life of several of my family members. After almost dying in the tornado in 1999, I have a true appreciation for how fragile life is and how none of us know when our time on this earth will be over.
~I'm grateful for our home, the food we have to eat every day, and the clothes I have to wear. I know there are many in this world who have no homes and no food or clothes. After losing everything in the tornado, I have a better understanding of how quickly a person can lose everything. I'm very grateful for those who helped us in our time of need. I will never again take having a roof over my head for granted.

I hope that you all had a very Happy Thanksgiving!
