If you would like to link to us go right ahead, I do ask though that if you know us in real life that you use my kids blog names if you refer to them. I don't use them in my blog or the title for safety purposes. Thanks so much!

Thanksgiving

Well, believe it or not the pie I made ended up turning out pretty good! :) The rest of the meal was, of course, fabulous! My mom always does a fantastic job on Thanksgiving... something I will probably never be able to do as well.

It was so great to have my sister and her family here to celebrate with us! Oh how her girls have grown... it always amazes me how quickly people change when you don't see them every day.

Ali is a true sweetheart and has a heart of gold. I'm always surprised by how much gentleness and love surround her, it seems to come almost effortlessly from her. I wish that everyone could understand how rare a gift that is and value it for what it is as well. Unfortunately people often don't understand what a blessing a "heart of gold" is.

Kat is a fireball as always and was so great with my kids and so eager to help. I know one thing for sure, when she sets her mind to something she is definitely a force to be reckoned with. What a great asset!

It was also wonderful to see Jo and Shawn! I'm so glad that we got to share the holiday with so much family. There really is nothing quite like having relatives near to make the holidays enjoyable!

Yes, it was a wonderful Thanksgiving! Kat had so much fun playing with your kids and the rest of us enjoyed basking in the warmth and love of having the whole family (Winders called too!) together. Thank you for sharing it with us!

How fun! Where does Jody live? How old are her girls? Just curious. You don't have to answer those questions on here. :)
