Count Your Blessings

Happy Thanksgiving! Our family has been looking forward to this day so much; not only because we love the holiday but because my niece has invited our whole family to celebrate at her home. It's her very first holiday as a newlywed! What an undertaking for a novice homemaker. I have no doubts we will have the best turkey dinner we ever did have! I admire her enthusiasm and marvel at her courage to take on such a major holiday as Thanksgiving. Oh, and have I mentioned she's doing the whole traditional dinner without help? Family members can only contribute a few appetizers or desserts! I made a couple last night, and Caitlin helped me make these yummy cupcakes that look as though they are ready to march on over to Michelle's and Brian's house right now! We'll be leaving after we watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade~~I truly believe if I miss seeing it (even once) I'll have bad luck the whole year! Then off we go to what is surely going to be a wonderful day with everyone I love.

Have a happy Thanksgiving and be grateful for all that you have. There are times when we don't feel very blessed but when you actually think of all that you have, your list is endless. Count those instead of sheep when you go to sleep tonight.
