WE ARE THANKFUL…
We are thankful for so much in our lives. In all the craziness of this season in our life, we forget to just pause and realize how much we really have and how blessed we are. I am so glad that at least on Thanksgiving we take a moment to pause and realize, wow, we really do have so much!
I am thankful for an amazing husband, who really works so hard. Last night he left the house at 6 am and got home at 7:20pm, just in time to kiss the kids goodnight and brush a couple kids teeth. I wish he was around more, but I know he is working so hard to provide for us and I really admire his work ethic and hope that is passed down to our kids. I also know that him working so hard has enabled me to stay home and raise the kids and me staying home has also helped him to do what he wants to do in his career.
I am thankful for my kids, who are kind, funny and bright. Even though some days are rough and many days are so busy we don't have a second to breathe, they really make life so enjoyable!
I am also very thankful to not have to travel for the holidays anymore!!! While the adventures were fun as a family, holidays are so much less stressful to not have to pack for 6 people, and fly or drive with 4 kids! This was such a nice Thanksgiving, to be able to sleep in our own beds and yet still see almost all of our families!
We did the usual…spent lunch at Grandma Bridgers house. We had an amazing meal! Leah loved the dog. She is turning out to be the only big animal lover in our family of 6.
We then went to Julie and Phil's for dinner and to see my side of the family. Since Julie and Phil go to his family's for lunch, Holly and my Mom were the ones who did most of the cooking, The kids had fun as always, how can you not when there are 16 kids running around!
I was horrible about taking pics this year!
