Thanksgiving Eve

I can not believe that Thanksgiving is here!! It just does not seem like it to me?.. There could be a few different reasons why! We are use to alot cooler weather on Thanksgiving and we are use to being with my family.. This is the first year we have been without our family ever on Thanksgiving,we have always been with my parents for as long as I can remember and a few years ago we started a tradition that my parents and my brother and his family would all come up to St Louis on Wednesday afternoon, we would all go out to dinner and then come back to my house and start making casseroles, desserts etc..and then have Thanksgiving on Thursday at 1:00 and then me and my mom and sister in law and neices would go to Old Time Pottery while the guys stayed home and watched football, and then we would come back eat again and then go on a carriage ride thru Tillis Park and look at the Christmas lights and sometimes we would go to a movie. It was alot of fun and I know that I am going to miss them alot this year but we will see them all at Christmas. We are so excited about Thanksgiving this year at our new house in Texas and sharing this holiday with our sweet friends The Johnson's,we are looking forward to a fun day filled with TONS of food and fun.. The boys felt sorry for me today because they know I usually make everything with my momma so they all said they wanted to help me and we had the best time! Maybe this will be the new tradition and before to long hopefully they will make all of the recipes.:) We have soooo much food but that's what Thanksgiving is all about.... I am so Thankful for My Awesome Husband who loves me no matter what mood I am in and I am so Thankful for my 2 sweet boys that both have compassionate hearts and I am so Thankful that I have a loving family even though we are not all together this year and I am so Thankful for our friends who we love and think of as our family that we will share it with them and MOST of all I am so Thankful for a AWESOME GOD who loves me unconditionally and blesses me way beyond measure!! I hope that you all have a Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! Check back for pics and post from our Thanksgiving Feast!
