Thanksgiving 2013

We have so much to be Thankful for!  I am reminded so often of God’s grace and how undeserving I am of his gift of salvation.  Whey He chose me, I will never understand, but I am so grateful!

As the girls and I enjoyed our time yesterday with family and friends, with about 1,000 reservations at work, Tom headed out early in the morning.  While the day went well for him and his crew, we missed having him with us all day long! I am so thankful for a loving husband that works so hard to provide for us and sets a great example to us and others by doing so with a selfless, positive attitude.  The picture below is just a glimpse of the walk in refrigerator at the restaurant . . . I have no idea how he does this!!!!

I always love hearing the girls tell what they are thankful for.  But the one that melted by heart was when I was tucking Ashley into bed and she said that she was thankful I was her Mommy.  How blessed I am that God has allowed me to be a mother to three beautiful, healthy daughters!

So our day . . . we slept in (amazing!) and enjoyed lounging around watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.  After lunch, we headed over to Aunt Patti and Uncle Chuck’s house for Thanksgiving dinner and to spend time with family.  My Aunt had a bunch of crafts for the girls (which they loved) and we enjoyed catching up with family we haven’t seen in a while.  We also learned a new game called Blokus, which was so much fun!!  Tired and full, we headed home around 8:30 and the girls fell right asleep!
