Thanksgiving 2019

 {I have been neglecting my blog lately. Not happy about it but not enough quiet time ...well, I'm here now}

Thanksgiving 2019

Jacob is the main cook on Thanksgiving. I'm just his sous-chef. While the turkey and ham were in the oven Riley helped with the appetizers, making the onion dip. 

It's been about 2.5 years since this picture was taken. He looks so small to me. Not his best haircut but he's still cute.

He's always making faces.

It was nice having all of us together. The food was delicious as usual.

With full bellies and thankful for our blessings we now gathered around in the living room. Time to relax.

Sophie hung out with us for a bit. Her big eyes are too funny. She was more than likely feeling overwhelmed with all the talking and television on.

Oh boy, if we only knew that just a couple of months from 11/2019 that the unfortunate virus would hit we would have gone out more and created more meaningful memories before all the craziness started.

I am constantly aware of my blessings especially of the mundane ones and my ability to do the things that need to get done. I'm aware of what a blessing it is to just have a rested clear head, a strong body and mind, and all the things a home has to help facilitate with doing my chores. And I am grateful for my hardworking husband for loving us as God commands. All we have and enjoy is only because of God's goodness.  

These are the blessings I am most grateful for and for the good health and safety of my loved ones.
