The day America comes to a halt, shuts down and every single person is surrounded by family to give thanks and eat turkey.
This year we gave thanks by prepping the house for the folks arrival, prepping the babies room for the baby's arrival and giving thanks at dinner with the familia and friends hosted by Peter and Laura. I was lucky enough to be handed the task of making a salad and peas & corn, for this I was thankful!Big day for big thanks, and boy do we have alot to be thankful for!
Here some pics from the day:

Like I said this

year for us, but lucky for us we have family and friends surrounding us all the
time with thoughts and prayers, and for that we just have to be grateful
for.
Happy Thanksgiving
