Give Thanks

We had a Thanksgiving lunch with friends yesterday. The kids dressed up as Pilgrim's and Native Americans and we listened to a story telling about the holiday. Then the kids said what they were thankful for. Most kids said their mommies...there were a lot of Ahhhhh's going around the room. Next came lunch with turkey shaped sandwiches, pumpkin dip, turkey Oreo cookies, pilgrim hat cookies and a homemade sweet potato pie (I am now a fan of sweet potato pie). My friend Amy made turkey covers for the juice boxes that consisted of leaves and construction paper - so cute. The kids gobbled everything down, he he. After we ate we made a neat craft with the kids hand and finger prints. Cody and Sarah made thumb print turkey place cards for the table.

I am so thankful to have my friends around to get me out of my little world of working out and cleaning house. They inspire me to be a better person and mom. When I'm around them I tend to be craftier, more fashionable, a better Christian, more giving and generally happier. They must put off some kind of super mom/friend pheromone that I'm susceptible to. Thanks ladies!

Here are a couple of Native Americans, Dances with Cars and Walks with Puppy, with Pilgrim Cody. They look like trouble or future rock stars.

We are thankful for each other.
Sarah is thankful for her brother. I'm thankful for them both.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
