Happy Thanksgiving with my Joyful Family!

What a delicious day we have in store for us.

Delicious: very pleasant to taste; very pleasing or enjoyable. Yep, not only for our palate but for our soul. A day to be completely and totally dedicated to our blessings that we MUST spend time rejoicing. Why? Because this is the key to true happiness: Gratitude. And I am so darn grateful for …. Well, let’s start with God. Without Him and my relationship with Jesus, I’d be a lost puppy, literally; miserable and straying aimlessly. Because OF Him, I have so much. He gave me the opportunity to grow and change..to make mistakes and still be loved. He gave me this precious bundle:

My family is the most important gift I have. I’ll spend the day with MY precious MOM, Kelly, James, Morgan, Nyla, Levi, and now James’ mom!! Tatum will enjoy each one 😉

and Kelly? She spent her day in the kitchen with the ladies as they all made miracles for our delight.

While all this is being prepared, Tatum is thankful for these walking helpers, Kel’s new oak stools!IMG_3790 IMG_3788Levi and James were not so thankful for the screeching noise interrupting the Raider-Cowboy game. So..thank goodness it’s time for our delights!

But first a toast….to our upcoming spread. A must!IMG_0605IMG_0610

We all shared our most precious thankfulnesses (?) and parTOOK! Tatum enjoyed scraps of turkey, cranberries, potatoes and carrots, gleefully I might add. She made it and is now looking for dessert.
