our thanksgiving 2014 was not as lovely as it has been in years past, but it still was a very sweet day being surrounded by our family near and dear, and remembering all that we have to be thankful for. unfortunately we had a very sick babe on our hands... and so most of our day was spent being worried about/taking care of her.... ( my dinner was cold, sigh). she really was the sickest that she's ever been in her young little life. it worried me all day long. and even though it was sad and a bit of a hard day, i still couldn't help but get emotional when i thought of what a lucky girl i am, for many reasons! holiday's, since jord and i have been married, have gotten so chaotic. it's trying to figure out going here and there, and not missing this family's thing while trying to make it to that family's thing. it sometimes takes away from the spirit of the holidays. and thanksgiving morning, i just thought that it was much better to have too many places to be, than none at all. we're so grateful to be able to be surrounded by soooo many family members that we love sharing the joy and spirit of the holidays with!
i love this time of year.
especially feeling thankful for these little turkey's, who make me feel so complete.
at the staples for dinner..
and how cute are these table decorations made by my cute SIL katelin?
rowan enjoyed her turkey dinner verrrrrrry much! she ate just as much as i did.
giving thanks for all of our bounteous blessings!
