A Lot to Be Thankful for!!

"Teddy... Where is Teddy? Has anyone seen him?? Where is that dog?"

Teddy got tired of waiting for stuff to fall on the floor that he could eat...so he put himself to bed......MY BED! I am thankful that I have a dog & a bed for him to lay his head!


Getting Ready for Family
I made a lot of different dishes outside of my normal Thanksgiving menu...It was exciting to try new stuff and I was nervous not knowing how the food was going to turn out.

The Night Before
My brother Rick came over to help get things ready

He was such a big help....he cut, peeled, and did whatever I asked him to do to help! I am so thankful that he was here to help me!

My friend Darlene showed up...she was taking a break from preparing her own Thanksgiving feast...and jumped in to helped too!
I am thankful that I have friends that will jump in and help even when they have their own stuff to do!

Thanksgiving Day
My Niece Wendy came over in the morning and helped with final touches. She learned how to make stuffed eggs and "Green" Jello-Salad. I am thankful that she lives close enough and was able to make it over.

I am Thankful that I have a family to spend the day with and the food turned out pretty good!


We all took a moment and wrote down what we were Thankful for. It was fun reading them during desert.
