Well this years Thanksgiving although small was still very much worthy of being thankful for. This year has really shown us all of the things that we took for granted. We are so thankful that even though money is much tighter than it used to be we are still filled with family, friendships, and our health.
* I am so grateful for having such a supportive family who has really helped us out during the past year to help us get where we are.
* I am so grateful for having the cutest little boy in the world who makes me smile everyday.
* I am grateful for friendships that have lasted so long and new ones that we get to start.
* I have a new found appreciation for all of our military service members (present and past) who sacrifice so much. Not only for our freedoms, but so that we don't have to have a draft. Some of the jobs are no joke!
* I am so thankful that my family is really so healthy! We hardly ever get sick, and when we do it seems to pass quickly
Those are just a few things that I thought that I should share.
So on to Thankgiving...On Wednesday I decided to get a head start and make my pumpkin pie. I was so proud of how beautiful they look and how wonderful they smelled. Lucas and I both tried a little sliver so that we could see how yummy it was. Afterwards I started cleaning everything up and I had put two of the pies away when suddenly I saw Lucas doing the unimaginable...he pulled on my cooling rack and caused my beautiful pie to come flying off the counter and on to the floor, face first. Those of you who have watched Friends and remember the cheesecake episode can somewhat feel the loss that I felt at that moment. For those of you who haven't go to YouTube and see the clip. I did scrape it up off the floor using my crust rolling out plastic sheet, and you can see the results..
Our thanksgiving dinner was fantastic. I made delicious rolls for the first time! It was exciting to see that I could really make bread. I have a breadmaker back home so I never had to make real bread from scratch and it was a little intimidating but it paid off! Brian made his small turkey and of course we had to have 2 styles of potatoes - mashed for me and baked for Brian. After we ate Brian's mom called and Lucas had a lot of fun talking her ear off. He loves to talk on the phone now (and now he actually talks instead of just listening)!
