Thanksgiving

Our first Thanksgiving with the boys. Too bad they were a little sick. It was crazy trying to get out of the house Thanksgiving day. All 5 of us had showers/baths (what's it going to be like when they are in middle/high school?). Ben made some delicious sausage balls and we gathered the food, tea, baby stuff and kids and headed out to my parent's house. Whew!!! As many of you know, this time last year is when my grandmother past away. She past away the morning after Thanksgiving. Abby still talks about it and remembered this. She said she was going to cry all day Friday (thanks to mom for distracting her by taking her shoe shopping and buying her lots of shoes that she needed!!!). Bless her heart, she really loves her Mamaw Kincer as do I. It was a bittersweet Thanksgiving this year. The first Thanksgiving with the boys but also the first without Mamaw Kincer (eventhough last Thanksgiving she was not there either but she was still with us). I was very thankful that Abby got to know Mamaw Kincer. Abby and I hope to go by her grave and put flowers this weekend. We really miss her tremendously.

This is a wonderful time to be grateful for all that we are blessed with. I know I am truly blessed with family and friends.

My husband is wonderful and the most patient man alive (some say he has to be to live with me- I don't see it that way!!!!). He works hard and is the best daddy to our children. He helped so much while I was in the hospital and recovering from the C-section. He had to take care of all 4 us which was a difficult job. I am so grateful to him and love him more each day.

My parents have also helped so much. They take Abby and keep her occupied when she needs some one on one attention and I need a little break. They gave Ben and I our first date night since the boys were born, which was much needed. I can't thank them enough for all they do, especially all of the meals we bum off of them.

My mother-in-law- she has helped tremendously along with Papa John. They also take Abby and helped a lot when Abby was sick and the boys were new. I am blessed to have such great family and in-laws.

I am thankful for the help that Papa Dan and Nana Lou gave me while they were in town. I actually got the house in decent order, too bad it has slipped again.

I am so glad that my children have such grandparents that they adore. I am also so thankful that God has blessed me with 3 beautiful children (the most beautiful in the world).
