We have so much to be thankful for again this year – our family & friends most of all – and of course, our two healthy, beautiful boys. We are also very thankful for our jobs & home, as my company has went through some changes in the past few months but I have been blessed to remain employed. We thank God for all the blessings he has given our family to enjoy this past year.
This was the boys second Thanksgiving. Last year they were a bit smaller and were not old enough to enjoy the delicious holiday spread. This year, we enjoyed the holiday with my dad’s side of the family once again – 21 of us were able to get together. We all enjoyed a delicious lunch of turkey/ham, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, stuffing, corn, buns & more! The boys ate really well and especially loved the sweet potatoes. It was a fun day visiting & catching up with family. The most fun was seeing the 7 “little boys” playing together. Between me, my sister and two cousins (who grew up just a mile down the road from us) we have a total of 7 little boys – ranging from 8 months to just under 4 years. It’s quite a change from it being girl-dominated as we were growing up.
Thanksgiving weekend is extra special to me – it was two years ago this past weekend that we found out, after such a long journey, that we were expecting. I still remember the shock/joy when I first saw the test finally come out positive!
The boys & I spent the weekend at my parents’ while Cory enjoyed a hunting weekend with “the guys”. We did a little Black Friday shopping, had a lunch out, enjoyed a play date, I had dinner out with “the girls” and just played. We had a wonderful weekend that went by way too fast!
