This Thanksgiving was too short. But it was very sweet for my family. Robert was able to come home and enjoy a Thankgiving Feast with us. It was turn around trip, but it was so nice to have him home. He flew home on Thanksgiving, and we went straight out to my Aunt Patti and Uncle Kim's house. I is tradititon, to spend Thanksgiving out there. My Uncle Tom and Aunt Judywho live in Oregon come and they bring tons of goodies...it is just a very nice relaxing day. I brought my green bean casserole and there was Ham and Turkey with all the fixings. This year the Allred's joined us, and it was very nice to have them there. I hope they enjoyed their time. They are truely part of our family. Friday we had our little get together for the Allred and our going away...but we were the only ones besides the Roche family that showed up. So again, we had too much food. Saturday, we helped Heather and Kyle pack up some things. And Robert and I were able to do a little shopping, before taking him to the airport. We ate dinner at Denny's and dropped him off at the airport for his midnight flight. Even though it was a short visit, it was very nice to have him home. Just 4 more weeks and he will be back home to move us away! Time sure does fly by.
So, with this Thanksgiving holiday, I will list a few things that I am most thankful for:
~My husband....he loves me unconditionally and he is such a wonderful husband and father
~My children....I am so thankful that Heavenly Father has entrusted me to raise and teach his children. Through the challenges they give me, I learn.
~My parents... Both my dads and my mom. Who have truely made me who I am today.
~My Aunt and Uncle....they are always there for me.
~My wonderful friends...for making me smile, even when I didn't want to. Thanks!
~Most of all....My Heavenly Father. For everything he does. The strength he gives me and always being a companion I can talk with. Never failing me!
I could never put into words how thankful I am for the things that I have in my life. I just can hope and pray that the people around me know how very important they are to me.
I have lots of pictures to share, but I want to put them in a slide show, so I will post them later.. here are just a few of my favorites for now!
Aryana and Tesa.....Uncle Kim, Brooke, Aryana and Gaby....Aryana, my mom and Brooke
