So Much To Be Thankful For...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!  I know that I am a day late with this post, but after all the delicious food consumed yesterday, I was in a food coma last night and decided to wait a day to post!  We hope that everyone had a wonderful day yesterday and that you were all able to celebrate it with those that you love, whether it was with family or friends.  Jeff and I had a pretty low key day.  We had dinner here at home and invited our friends, Barb and Top over to celebrate.  I cooked the turkey (grandma Millie would have been proud) and some sides, and Barb and Top brought some sides and we had a fantastic meal together.  We have really been blessed to have Barb and Top in our life as they have become a big part of our Florida family.  We don't know what we are going to do when they retire and start on the next part of their life and start traveling around the country.  We do know that we will miss them dearly and I am so thankful that we were able to share this Thanksgiving with them.  This year, Jeff and I have so much to be thankful for.  At this time last year, Cash was just a little turkey "cooking" in my belly...this year, he is here eating the turkey!!!  Yes, I put some turkey in the baby food maker and blended it up so Cash could join us at dinner!  Here he is taking his first taste of turkey!

 As you can see, he wasn't too sure about it all, but he had a few more bites and seemed to like it!  As I was saying, I couldn't be more thankful this year.  After a somewhat eventful pregnancy, Cash was born a healthy little boy.  I am so thankful that we are all healthy this year, as many family and friends have been dealing with health issues.  It really makes you step back and realize just how lucky you are if you don't have to worry about health issues daily.  I continue to be thankful for that every single day.  Jeff and I are thankful that we have a roof over our head, food in our bellies, friends and family that love us and that we love.  We really are blessed beyond measure.  Our biggest blessing this year would of course be Cash.  He has made us smile every single day!  Here is our little turkey celebrating his first Thanksgiving!

 How can we not all be thankful for this sweet little boy????

I am also thankful that I get to spend every day with Cash.  Being a stay at home mom is the best job there is...I get paid with sweet smiles, slobbery kisses and giggles...and that is priceless!   I get to watch Cash grow and learn and explore...I am blessed that I have been able to watch all of this as you can never get this time back and it goes by far too quickly.  Here I am with my sweet baby boy!

Of course, I am thankful for the first love of my life, Jeff.  From the moment Cash was born, the title of "dad" fit him perfectly.  He has taken on this role with ease and I fall more in love with him when I see him with our son.  I am thankful that my husband is so hardworking and supportive...he has provided so much for our family and I know that he will continue to do so.  Cash is lucky to have such a wonderful role model in his life and I hope that his parents are extremely proud of the man that he has become.  Here are my boys...Cash just lights up whenever his daddy comes home and it makes me smile every single time!

Finally, here is a video of our little Indian...this is Cash's new favorite thing to do and it just cracks us up when he starts to do it!  We hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season, as it is just beginning.  We love and miss you all!
