Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving was so wonderful this year. Once again, Daniel was working a nightshift but was such a trooper and gave up so much sleep to join me as a wonderful host. My parents were here to celebrate with us, and some of our neighbors also joined us for the feast.


As always, my husband's delicious cajun fried turkey was the star of the show!


But, my yummylicious pies also kept us stuffed for a few days.


The difference this year was a turn of events in a friend's life that brought a whole new meaning to this time of year for us. We have certainly become more aware of how blessed we are by each other. We are not taking each other for granted and are praising God for the lives he is allowing us to live! We are truly thankful this year, and not for the turkey and pies, but simply for each other and being able to hug each other every morning. I've definitely hugged my babies and husband quite a few extra times in the past few weeks. You should too! Go hug your loved ones and thank God they are there next to you! Give thanks!
