thanksgiving.

So many, many things to be thankful for this year. 

I never try to keep up with the 30 Days of Thankfulness thing on Facebook. 

Honestly, I would have trouble limiting it to just 30 things. 

{This big island was one of the things I was thankful for... perfect for making pies and setting out food!} 

I loved hosting Thanksgiving this year. (I made three side dishes and 2 pies, though. My mom brought the ham and my mother-in-law brought the turkey. I'm not ready for that responsibility yet!) I love having friends and family over. I love that we can all enjoy each other and be together, but not feel like we are on top of each other. I love that our two families can celebrate together.

I was so thankful this little miss perked up and started feeling better. She spent most of the meal snuggled up here, watching "The Lorax."

We had 6 adults... 3 kids... and 5 different kinds of pie. =)

It was a happy and relaxing day. My favorite kind.
Now to finish some of my Black Friday shopping. Online.
The only way I do it. =)
