Thanksgiving Decorations

Here are a few of the things that graced our Thanksgiving table.

 Candy Corn Indian Corn.

Salt Dough Leaves and Accorns

A very festive table

Fall

It is looking so beautiful here in Fresno.  All the leaves are turning and falling to the ground.   

We were picking up the mail and paper at Nana and PopRo's house after church on Sunday {they were visiting Cuz Hunter and Cuz Brooklyn in Texas} and couldn't resist playing a bit.

Bubs tried his hand at raking the leaves into piles.

This thing is just too hard to operate.

Perhaps a broom will be easier.

Yes...that's much easier.

Throwing them in the air, however, is the easiest yet...and so much fun!

I love the leaves.

It's raining leaves.

I've found a beautiful one.

The classic JCrew pensive pose.

I've buried myself in leaves.  This is so much fun!  I love the leaves!

Happy Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving Y'all!

Gobble! Gobble!

Turkey

In an effort to have Noah "play with his food", we attempted to give our little Stink Pot a turkey leg on Thanksgiving. At first he looked at it with an inquiring eye. Once he grabbed the leg, however, he instantly knew it was FOOD. EEK!Get that thing away from me! That made Daddy-O and Papa secretly very happy!

Happy Thanksgiving

According to Noah's G-Tube button, Mr. Turkey is done.* Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Giving Thanks

I have so much to be thankful for this year. Let me see if I can begin to give thanks for all that I have..

1. A loving God who is bigger that I can fathom, loves me more than I can possibly imagine, and has an awesome plan for my life.
2. The most amazing husband ever who takes out the trash, listens when I talk endlessly about work and my kiddos, buys me flowers for "no special reason", always puts his family before work, and is the greatest Daddy-O ever!!!
   
3. The cutest little Stink Pot (AKA Noah) a Mama could ask for who is smiley, opinionated, cuddly, laid back, curious and most of all a fighter.
4. The most supportive parents, siblings and sisters-in-law who always encourage me, lift me up, appreciate the necessity of tradition, and continually make me laugh (mostly with them, but occasionally at them).
5. The greatest in-laws who ask questions, make special trips to visit us, and raised my husband to be an amazing Man of God.
6. The awesome women in my life who love me, laugh and cry with me, share their mommy stories with me, and let me know that I'm never alone.
   
7. The craziest co-workers and bosses who truly do believe that "We Are Family"!
8. The greatest set of doctors who are patient to answer all my questions, treat my little guy with loving hands, and are fighting so hard for him.
9. The roof over my head, food in my pantry, clothes in my closet, and breath in my lungs.

I hope your Thanksgiving is full of turkey, laughter and love.
