Thanksgiving

 We have SO much to be thankful for and I love celebrating Thanksgiving because it truly makes us stop and reflect on all of these things.  Nothing tops the thankfulness that I feel for our family and for our health and I try to thank God daily for these blessings.
We started the day off just relaxing at home with a run for Rich and a run for myself thrown in there along with the watching of the Macy's Day parade and prepping the turkey and the sweet potatoes.  It was a perfect morning, topped off with a rainbow in our new backyard that just made the day seem extra sweet.
 So thankful for these p-jammie mismatch wearing, bed headed kiddos.  Nothing brings us more joy and happiness and love than these four right here.
 We are also SO thankful for our extended family, both near and far, but are extra thankful that we have family close by who are so involved in the day to day lives of our kiddos and that they get to experience this type of extended family bond.  We spent the afternoon at Nani and Poppa's which was filled with turkey frying, football playing and watching, dog petting and just lots of laughs and relaxing!
 Joseph got schooled a few times by his Momma during this game...gotta put him in his place!
 Taking a break on the sidelines with Jules and Char for a bit.
 Back in the game...
 The boys showing off the turkey!
One with Rich giving Joseph the bunny ears
 And one without...

 Cousins, minus Finn, who was in Vancouver for the week, getting ready for the feast!
 So much fun!  We were thankful to have Dave's parents and brother join us along with George, of course!
Happy Thanksgiving!
