Thankfulness

It has been a beautiful Thanksgiving day.  My tummy is full and satisfied and I feel pretty sleepy, so perhaps a nap after this post?  Lee and Analese are both taking naps right now.  We had a very good Thanksgiving lunch:  Fri-chick (vegetarian chicken) and gravy, stuffing, corn, sweet potatoes, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, apple pie (compliments of a thoughtful friend who baked extra) and ice-cream.  This morning as Lee was getting the Christmas tree out of the garage, he found A's pink bunny!  It has been missing for over a month I think.  I turned the house upside down looking for it.  It was in the garage underneath a table.  A was SO HAPPY to have her pink bunny back!  She keeps grabbing her bunny by both paws and saying, "Bunny, you're home!"  Just a couple of nights ago as I was tucking her into bed she said, "Mom, I miss pink bunny."  So I suspect A is very thankful for her pink bunny today.  Here are some post-reunion pics:



I am thankful for my God, my family, my freedoms living in the U.S, my health, my healthy pregnancy, my shelter, my food, my friends (real life and internet), my wonderful husband, my beautiful daughter who is developing a very beautiful character also, this baby inside of me, the list goes on and on................

We are going to our friends' house around 5 to spend the evening with them, snacking on Thanksgiving leftovers and pies.  Maybe we will sit around the fireplace (although it is 70 degrees here in Texas) and drink hot tea.  The kids will all enjoy playing together.  So far Lee has not been called to the hospital today.  I'm just hoping no pregnant woman decides to have her baby today (wouldn't that be a terrible thing to happen, how dare she!)  It really has been a restful day so far.

Here are some pics of me and Analese that Lee took right before their naps:
