Thanksgiving



We had a great Thanksgiving and hope you did too! Josh's parents, sister, brother, 5cousins, 2 spouses, aunt and uncle, two kids and two dear friends all joined us for a wonderful day of catching up and fattening up. Josh's parents and siblings are staying with us another cousin and his wife and daughter are also coming to spend the weekend with us (at a hotel near by).

I'm thankful for family. All of it, extended, nuclear, those we consider family without the blood connection:). I'm grateful for my own family I was raised in and for the love that always abounded there, that doesn't really say much, but it was one of the funnest places to be at any given time and always a great conversation to be had with words of encouragement and understanding. Guess that's what 5 sisters and great parents creates!

I'm esp grateful for my own little family of Josh, Hazel Bliss and Felicity Jeanne. My world revolves around them. I love getting to spend my life with a man I admire and love. My life is enriched beyond comprehension knowing I am a mother of these two precious girls. I am so blessed.

Here we are at Thanksgiving dinner! YUMMM. I'll post recipes and reviews later.

Thanks and thanks! I love my orange walls too, it's my favorite room. I have to say, the dinner was great, but it's nice to have such a big production over with. But i love the new recipes and the company was great, so all in all worth it!

What a fun day! I can't believe you hosted everyone, that's amazing!!! I'm sorry I missed your call, I was way bummed when I saw I didn't get to talk to you - even if it was for 5 minutes! Soon, though.

Ok, Afton, I want you to stop right now. Open a tab browser and send me an e-mail from the gmail account that you use, which I somehow don't have, so I can send you a link to my blog.

Love you!
