I just took these pictures.
That's right. 4:30 on Thanksgiving Eve and these four are asleep. They all had busy days at school and then had friends over. Then, they all had a case of the oneries. So, I told them that they could all take a rest, with eyes closed, in the family room or they could go to bed early. They chose rest time, and within minutes they were out. Mike got home to this sight and wondered what I had given them.
In other news, my precious notebook in which I keep all of my important lists, including the Christmas list, is missing. My goal was to have all of my shopping done before Thanksgiving. I think I am done, but without my notebook I am not sure. I so love being done shopping before all the craziness ensues. I like to just kick it at home--do some projects, make yummy treats, and be warm at home with the family during December.
In other, other news, I like werewolves. In fact, I believe if I were, say, a teenaged girl I would have posters of a certain werewolf hanging all over my room. I'm not a teenager, so that would be very inappropriate. It was just so, so good.
In conclusion, I love Thanksgiving. It is nice being reminded of just how blessed I really am. I have wonderful, supportive parents and siblings--Mike's family included. Healthy, happy kids. A supportive, hard-working husband. Health. Freedom. The Gospel. The things we need. Great friends. Opportunity.
Even though my life is not perfect, I sometimes think I am the luckiest girl in the world.
Now, let the feasting begin!

I would have loved a nap this afternoon. Are the werewolf posters not okay for woman my age? I guess I will take them down:)
Loved the pictures of the kids naps. They are precious.
We remember each day how thankful we are to still be alive to enjoy our wonderful family and how good they are to us.
We are thankful you are part of our family too. Your help over the holiday was really appreciated. Isn't Tiger doing her job as a mouser? That is the only reason I would have a cat;-) Oh, peanut butter covered raisins work really good as bait in mousetraps.
