2011 brings a lot to be thankful for. This year I mentioned to Nick that I wanted this Thanksgiving to be similar to last year’s Thanksgiving. I wanted it to be low key, easy and relaxing. I didn’t want to spend the entire day cooking over a stove, getting irritated with dishes piled up in the sink, missing out spending time with the girls and worrying about if my dishes turned out okay. He totally agreed with me and we agreed that we would buy our Thanksgiving just as we did last year. Now, last year was obviously a slightly different story due to having a newborn in the house...but I felt okay forgoing the duty of preparing a feast!
We had invited Nick's parents over for Thanksgiving and everyone was okay with the prepared meal. We purchased the family meal from Sprouts Market and I cannot stop raving about their meal! If ever in need of a top notch premade Thanksgiving dinner, give them a try~!! The turkey is a free range bird, fresh veggies, all the sides and delicious cranberry orange relish!
I was so thrilled to spend the day sleeping in, watching morning cartoons with the girls and Nick, cleaning up the house before the in-laws arrived and getting ready without rushing to blow-dry my hair or quickly put on some make up. I actually got to RELAX!
Here are just a few things that I'm thankful for this year.
My supportive husband- he loves me and supports me
My two beautiful girls- they keep me laughing!
A home that is warm and filled with love
The ability to set goals and have the strength to accomplish them
Having the opportunity to carpool with the love of my life!
Having family that loves me and supports me
My trusty iPhone...Pinterest, FB, Words with Friends, Pandora!
Sunrise - a beautiful sight to start the morning
My health- I continue to improve it but thankful for it!
My entire life...it might be hectic and chaotic but it's mine!
