Happy Thanksgiving!

Today I am grateful for 4 amazingly beautiful little loves, and the wonderful husband who help bring them into our lives. Yes we have our ups and downs during our day to day activities with them, but in the end they are happy, healthy and perfect!



This year we enjoyed our dinner by sister and brother in laws new house. As always its nice to not be the one who gets all stressed out making sure everything is perfect. This year It was Tricia's turn and she did an amazing job!

The meal was wonderful, the company was even better, so what more could we ask for.

Michael was gifted a guitar last year by Grandma Schneider. She had told him he needed to learn to play Silent night by this x-mas. So he brought along his guitar so Uncle Andy could give him a quick lesson. 
He intently watched as Andy got it tuned to perfection.



And then the 2 went to work practing away. By the time we left Michal had memorized the first few cords of the song! I was rather impressed, I found myself tearing up a bit. My little Michael is growing up so quick, gosh how I would love for him to keep showing interest in playing!




Thank goodness Aunt Tricia had a draw full of old toys to help keep the kids entertained during the day!


 And while the kids run around the house like crazy, the parents relaxed, closed their eyes while they could and enjoyed their turkey coma.


I'm so grateful this little lady was able to join us today! I still find it hard to have just her with us and not Grandpa too, but I will enjoy her and that lovely smile as long as I can!

 
As always my favorite part of the meal, desert table! I made sure to have 1 small piece of each as to not over due it, and let me tell you it was so tempting to go back for more!
