Turkey Sandwiches and Lasagna

To be honest, I was a little bummed when I learned that we would be celebrating Thanksgiving, with Benji's extended family,(and my mom, sister and nephew) the Saturday BEFORE Thanksgiving. I have been so exhausted and we haven't been home for a weekend in over a month. But I realized quickly that if we had Thanksgiving on Saturday, that would mean we would have a few days at home TOGETHER!!!

Today, (Thanksgiving) has been such a great day. Benji and I both worked around the house yesterday and today. We got a ton of stuff done that has been weighing on me for awhile.

I got a ton of Jesse's baby clothes put up, groceries bought!(hallelujah). I cooked two meals in two days, which I haven't gotten to do in forever. I cleaned the bathrooms and my car! Oh and Emery's room.

Benji got the garage cleaned, the yard cleaned up and all the laundry put up.

Jesse has been crawling like crazy. His favorite toys are electrical chords, Benji's nasty shoes and Emery's beaded necklaces...sigh heart attack!

My favorite thing in the world is to stay home as a family TOGETHER, eat three meals around the table and just hang out in the house. I LOVE our home and when we are all here together my heart is so full.

So today we watched the parade, which Emery loved, took naps, watched football, ate Turkey sandwiches for lunch and had lasagna for dinner. I say it was the most perfect thanksgiving ever....and listen, trust me we have had our share of meals already, I had our 3rd annual GNO feast, which is always the best to me. Our meal at church which is amazing and then finally the one of Saturday at Benji's parent's home. It is always sooo gooo and I am always so tired, I have to have a nap! We are so blessed in America and even so many here are suffering today. My heart has been heavy for those who have no one to be with and for the ones who went hungry today.

Our GNO FEAST! YUMMMM

Last Week

Okay so last week I got all "I over share" well this week I got all over that. Ha!

WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE MY KIDS, LOOK AT THEM!!! And if ya don't want to read what I have to say don't, just look at the cuteness of my family and skip the words.

I mean Emery is just the most hilarious and stubborn 3 year old I know. But she is also kind, and sensitive to others feelings and she adores her daddy and wants to be just like her mommy.

Jesse, well he is perfect, except for the sleeping thru the night thing...but we are working on that.

We just got back from Dallas about midnight last night. I am looking forward to getting my hands on these little boogers! I missed them so much.
