What a great day it was... Mike got up early and got started on the turkey. The smell of cooking turkey was so delightful!! The kids showed up about noon and before we all knew it we were sitting there at the table stuffing ourselves silly with the delicious food that had been prepared. I love the times when we get together as a family and have a great time together. Memories are made and pictures are taken!! I have posted just a couple. We all sure wish Alex and Ashley, Anny, Ellie and Jack were here with us... That would simply make life so wonderful!! I know I complain a lot about missing my son Alex and family so much, but I do miss having all my boys around me. I know that I am blessed by just the fact that they are mine, but only wish that we were closer to where I could see them much more often then what I can now. But, aside from that I want to report that our family has been blessed in so many ways, we have a lot to be thankful for. I know where our blessings come from and for that I am so very thankful. This is a great time of year to look back over the year and give Thanks to a Heavenly Father who knows us and takes such great care of us.
