Thankful.

What a wonderful day.

I had no set plans to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, A was working so I figured I would chill out at the house, hang out in my PJs and try and recover from this terrible chest infection I seem to have developed. (Yea...sorry for the lack of posting)

Well....instead I was invited to a friend's house for Thanksgiving with her family.

We had a blast!

What a fun time hanging with her kids, family. We watched the game....

We ate a delicious dinner together.

We made homemade ornaments! (Awesome tradition idea)

We bounced on the trampoline (yes, the adults).

We played football. I was afraid it was tackle. It wasn't =)

We hung out some more & ate pie.

We watched Elf & cleaned up! Then had backrubs!

What an awesome day!

And the plus side is even though I didn't get to catch up on all my messages, returns everyones calls and organise things. I had a super awesome day! I even don't feel as sick! Awesome!

So yes....

I thought I would end with things I am thankful for. (This list is by no-means exhaustive!)

I had the book 'One Thousand Gifts' By Ann Voskamp recommended to me by a friend, and found it in the local library. It is about being thankful on a daily basis. So I am hoping to continue the idea of Thanksgiving into a daily thing. 

1. Thankful for sweet friends & dear friendships. 
2. I am thankful to God for His Word, His presence, Love & Awesomeness! 

3. Thankful for awesome food every day - not just today. 

4. Thankful for a beautiful home to live in & beautify with projects =)

5. Thankful for good health.

6. Thankful for this awesome man!

7. Thankful for phone calls with family, near & far!

8. Thankful for cars to drive around (& sometimes fix!)

9. Thankful for beautiful kiddos to watch!

10. Just thankful for too many things to count!

My plan is to write out 1000 things I am thankful for. To remember that each thing is a gift from God because He loves me so much. This includes 'falling asleep to the sound of rain'....mmm. 

To create an attitude of thankfulness on a daily basis.

What a beautiful day!

Much Love,
