Today we take time to count our blessings. I am under the weather so the big dinner will be tomorrow. We are having roasted chicken, potatoes, carrot souffle, rolls, green beans, stuffing, gravy, pumpkin crunch and pecan pie (Brian's favorite). The table will have our special Thanksgiving sheet with the kids hand prints and what we are thankful for that year. This goes on my table every Thanksgiving we are at home for the past 7 years. It is special to me go back and see how the kids have grown as well as what we are thankful for each year.
I am thankful
another year of life with my family
Each one of my five beautiful blessings
Brian
A place to call home
The opportunity to travel and visit friends this year
Friends all over the country while missed greatly, I hold them dear to my heart
Clothes to wear
Food to eat
Reliable transportation
A church family that opened their arms to us when we moved here
The ability and freedom to teach my children at home
Most of all I am thankful to God for giving us His Son to die on Calvary.
As we enter the Christmas season, most people only think of the gifts and hustle and bustle but we need to remember the best gift of all, Jesus Christ.

Happy Thanksgiving!! Your blog is wonderful! Hope that you and yours have a GrEaT day!! We are relaxin' watching the Macy's Day Parade.
I just tried the carrot soufle' thing for the first time on Thanksgiving - Brandi picked up a big order from Piccadilly - I loved it! Also this week, I just heard of the idea of the Thanksgiving sheet - just what you are doing! I thought that was a wonderful idea! Wish you would have told me about that one sooner.
