Thanksgiving...

When I think about this day I am so overwhelmed with all I have to be thankful for!  I am so glad I live in a country that has a day to focus on giving thanks to God for our many blessings! :)  I am thankful to be in America where even with its many problems, we are still so much more free than alot of places.  We spent a wonderful day together watching the parade, the dog show, an old Walton's Thanksgiving Specials as a family with Celeste's young man Cory joining us.  It overwhelms me that we have hit our 2nd Thanksgiving with Noah!  This is our first holiday that we have had him twice for!!! :)  Last year I had a special outfit for Noah for Thanksgiving and his suitcase got left behind by accident.  Well, the outfit fit him and he wore it today! :)  So neat :)  Though he took the bib and slung it when I tried to put it on him.  He is getting to where he does NOT want a bib, though he sure does still NEED one! :) 

Here he my little man in his outfit :)  You can't see it but it says Thankful for Mommy!  I sure hope he considers himself thankful for me! :)  I SURE am for him! :)

He loved the turkey and kept pointing at it :)

Here was our turkey! :)  It was a different brand than we have had before and did not have much drippings like we are use to and I was worried it would be dry but it was not :)  It was really good :)

Celeste took an ariel view of the table!  LOL

My amazing family! :)

My mama and my Panda Boy! :)

My sweet hubby Bobby and Mille (our daughter for the year! )

Noah was hamming it up :)  Another cute shot, though he looks SOOO much bigger than he is in this picture! :) 

Before we prayed for our meal today Bobby wanted us to go around the table and say something we were thankful for.  Each person did and when it was my turn I talked about being thankful for my family that was all with me and for Jeremiah that waits in Taiwan for us and then I lost it when I talked about being thankful that this was the last Thanksgiving we would spend separated from Jeremiah!  It amazes me in some ways how long the fundraising and all it taking this time, even though I knew it would be hard, I kept thinking I had things figured out and am so wrong, BUT I can be thankful that God has it figured out and the money is coming!  I CAN trust in that! :)  on that note PLEASE be in prayer for the Target Gift Card Giveaway.
