Thanksgiving 2011

I have so much to be thankful for but mostly my family, dear friends and the health I seem to have gotten back as of late.  Add in a great job that I love, animals that fill our lives and a beautiful sunset every day, and I am one lucky woman.  Today I was also thankful for apple streusel pancakes and pumpkin spice coffee, compliments of my loving husband. 

As for the big turkey day, an amazing day was had by all and we were so blessed to have all 4 kids together and getting along for the entire day.  I helped Mom cook and even though this time of year has been rough as of late, we had a great time.  I even managed to beat her in one round of 500 rummy.  The food was amazing and we had a few drinks and watched some football, had lots of giggling and tickling and even a bit of rest.  Juliet got to have her first taste of whipped cream and needless to say, she loved it.  She also looked pretty awesome in a jumper and little poodle jacket and black patent leathers.  Yes, I have turned into a girl.  Took long enough.

Tonight I went out to put blankets on the horses and throw them some hay.  The stars were so amazing and it was so crisp and beautiful.  I hope my children always keep the holiday traditions and take time to notice the little amazing things all around them.  For me, I took the nostalgia all the way tonight and did our Christmas card.  I am a sucker for cute kids and for the first time, they have replaced my usual horse cards.
