Our Thanksgiving

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving this year!  The holiday season is in full swing and we are thoroughly enjoying it!

Every Thanksgiving morning, we watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade while eating a breakfast of Cinnamon Rolls and Coffee.  I love our tradition, and I was so thankful I got to spend it with four sweet turkeys this year!  My family felt complete!

After the parade ended, we all got ready to go to Grant's Grandma's house for Thanksgiving Dinner #1!

Liam finally got to meet some extended family members and it was so nice to spend time with family we only see a few times a year!  Dinner was delicious!!!

All too soon, we had to leave for dinner #2 at my parent's house!  This dinner was a quiet one, which is rare for my huge family.  All my siblings had their own plans for Thanksgiving, so it was just my family and my parents.

Although we had a nice time, I did miss the usual chaos!  Hopefully everybody can get together next year!

After dinner, we had one final stop.  We went to Nannie's house to watch the Steelers game and visit with relatives that were in town.  It was a nice end to the evening!  We didn't end up leaving until 12;30 in the morning!

I am so thankful for the love that my children have for each other.  Yes, they have their moments, but they love unconditionally.  When I watch them together, I know our decision to have 4 children was the right one and that we have brought so much good into the world.

This Thanksgiving I felt extremely blessed and thankful.  The life and family Grant and I have built together is good.  So very good.
