We spent our Thanksgiving with the Skala crew this year. As much as I love heading back home, the idea of not packing up and being here was pretty appealing, too. We had a delicious meal, watched the Packers beat the Lions, played games, searched the Black Friday ads, made a turkey craft with the kids, ate some more, and simply enjoyed each other's company. Kelsey has been so excited for Thanksgiving. She made a ring countdown at Mary's and was counting down the days until "we go to grandma's and eat turkey and green bean casserole." When Thursday morning rolled around, she woke up saying she had a headache. She was not her happy self all day either. Megan on the other hand made up for it because she was smiling from ear to ear most of the day. That night, Vickie, Diane, Stacey, and I went shopping at 10pm. We joined the craze! Tradition ladies?
On this Thanksgiving, I want to give thanks for my family. It was our first one as a family of four :) We are BLESSED to have health and happiness. We are thankful for a roof over our heads, food on the table, jobs that support our family, our freedom, our extended family and friends, and time that we get to be together. I am blessed to be the mother of two amazing daughters and an incredible husband. It is so important to reflect on what you have and never take them for granted. Thank you Lord for all that you have blessed us with!
