Thanksgiving Day was awesome. For once I was incredibly organized and the meal seemed to go together well. There was a lot of help and that definitely made for a wonderful experience. How nice to have everyone working together instead of one doing all the work and everyone else watching. It made for a very pleasant day. Around the table we talked about having a "gratitude attitude", making the best of every situation. It was fun to hear what everyone was grateful for that day. I know I was especially grateful to have so many of our family with us. It was so fun to have Kevin there. Blake and Lucy adore him!! My sister Cheryl and her husband Stan were there and she is certainly close to all of my kids and grandkids. That made the day extra special. She is a cancer survivor and she spoke on how she was thankful for life itself. Jeff's mom, LaRae was with us also. The only way it could of been better is if Ben, Carrie and the kids were here but they couldn't come from Oklahoma. Fortunately Carrie's parents were able to go to Oklahoma so they were not alone for the holiday. Amy designed a darling turkey which we put on the window and everyone wrote something they were thankful for on a feather and placed it on the turkey. It was adorable. How delightful to have someone else plan an activity ford the day. Our annual tradition of attending a movie on Thanksgiving Day was kept in tact as we went to see Puss 'n Boots. With grandkids now we have reverted back to animation for the family. We all loved it though. What a great day. Now on to Christmas preparations. Hopefully we can remember to have a "Gratitude Attitude" throughout this holiday season also.
