Thanksgiving day is a great day to kick off the Holiday season! Every night I thank the Lord for the miracles and blessings in my life, but Thanksgiving day stands out as a day to do just that - give thanks even louder than you normally do!
This year I am thankful for so many things but I have to say I am most thankful for our beautiful son and his health! This was his first Thanksgiving and it was great! The day was awesome, it was a bit chilly, but the sun was shining and the rain stayed away. We surprised Nana and Grandpa at the front door with John's new outfit (he was adorable and he knew it!) and they laughed until they cried about that hat!
Nana had prepared an awesome Turkey dinner with all the traditional sides. Grandpa said a prayer before dinner that filled my eyes with tears (tears? from me?). It was picture perfect!
We busted out the old home videos and watched some of Bob and Carolyn's wedding and then of course, Chris and Carl when they were babies. I caught glimpses of John in Carl as a baby, but they are not mirror images by any means.
Then of course we finished the day with football, no Thanksgiving would be complete without it.
We shoveled in some pecan pie and then headed home happy and several pounds heavier.
We missed the Oklahoma crowd, but we look forward to seeing Chris and Adrienne on Christmas Eve and the rest of the crew on Christmas Day.
PS (we added more pictures to this slideshow)
