Thanksgiving...

I have much to be thankful for this year. My wonderful husband, three healthy handsome boys, and my numerous family and friends.

I am actually doing O.K., that is the question I am asked most frequently these last couple of days. I know that I don't control anything, but I have a Saviour who does and I have to trust that for some reason I was pregnant, but never to see or hold that baby this side of heaven. Emotional-wise I have had my moments, but I really feel fine most of the time. It is not that I have to look far to see what miracles and blessings that I have been given. Physical-wise that was rough, they told me it would be like a very bad period. Not close in my book. It was bad up until the point where I passed everything then it calmed down and I just felt yucky. I have to now shift my brain from having a baby to not having one. Even though it was a short period of time knowing you still get emotional and mentally ready for what you are embarking on. It will take some time to adjust and figure all the "doing it again" stuff. But for now I am loving my boys....

Our Thanksgiving was calm and quiet for the most part. My side of the family had their meal Wed. night which I didn't go to, but Mechanic Man took the boys and left me to rest. They did bring me back a plate so I got to stuff myself anyways. Then Thurs. my dad came over and we had a small lunch and just laid around watched movies and the football game. Woo-hoo Cowboys! That morning the boys and I made these turkey shaped rolls. We got the idea from Life As MOM. Here are some pics...

Why is it when you tell them to look this way, they dont?!?!?

J#3 had fun

Especially putting on the chocolate chip "eyes". He would have one for him and then one on the turkey, then one for him and so on :)

Here is what they looked like before going in the oven.

Here they are with the finished product. The verdict was that they were good of course, with sugar and sugar why wouldn't it be. No one could finish theirs though it made a lot and it was really sweet, but fun to do on Thanksgiving morning.

Today, we have just laid low and no way was I going out on Black Friday anyways. So we have started decorating for Christmas and the boys and I made some peanut brittle to be sold Sunday at church and the proceeds go toward the well for the people in Liberia. The boys had fun making it....

I think they had the most fun watching the thermometer. The candy turned out delicious, so if I can keep them out of it until Sunday we will be doing good.

I hope all my BF's out there had a blessed and wonderful Thanksgiving!
