Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I got up at 7:00 and made sausage balls, 2 potato casseroles, 1 broccoli casserole and corn flake candies. I had help in the kitchen from sweet Brady. He was quick to clean up any food I dropped on the floor.

This year, I am thankful for a wonderful husband who is supportive and funny and genuine. Of course, I am thankful that Brady is still with us. We don't know how long we will be blessed with him but we are grateful every day that we have with him. We have strived to give him the best life we possibly can and I hope we've achieved that. I'm thankful for my family and friends and the relationships we have built and continue to work on. I am thankful that Chris and I still have jobs at this time when so many people have lost theirs. I'm thankful we have the money to pay our bills, have food on the table and a roof over our heads.

I know this is a sad time for so many people who don't have enough to eat and who are missing family members at this time of year more than any other time throughout the year. My grandfather on my mom's side died on Thanksgiving day many years ago but I think about him so often and especially on today. We was the best grandpa. Seriously, the best.

Sharon, I hate that you aren't here to celebrate with us this year but I'm glad you are celebrating with Mike and the kids. Good luck with that turkey. I'll eat an extra piece of mom's chocolate pie for you.

Britney, I'm sorry that you are spending Thanksgiving in the hospital. I hope you are better real soon and that your mom makes you an extra big dish of yams. :)

Sarah, I hope you are enjoying Thanksgiving in your new home. I'm so proud of you. I can't wait to come up and see your new pad.

Doris, Thank you for understanding how busy it is for me and Chris on the holidays. I hope you and Sidney have a great day together and we look forward to seeing you all this weekend.

Now, I'm off to mom's for dinner. Two years ago on Thanksgiving is when Levi and Maranda told us they were pregnant with Kailey. I'm off to play with her. What a doll she is.

Love you all,

Heidi
