This year as we celebrate Thanksgiving there are SO many things that we are thankful for.
This is the first year that we are getting to spend Thanksgiving with Eden and she is definitely one of the many blessings that we are thankful for! She makes us smile every day.
Lane and I are able to spend this Thanksgiving with many family members that we don't get to spend much time with on a regular basis. My sister and her family are in Georgia to spend Thanksgiving with us and Lane's siblings are both here too with their families. We will also be able to see Tommie, the family friend of the Daigle family, who we usually only get to see once a year. My extended family will also be coming over for Thanksgiving lunch at my parents and Eden will have the chance to see all of her cousins and second cousins. This is great for her because she absolutely loves to be around other children! She laughs and giggles at them and she can't get enough of the bigger kids when they're around.
This year we also want to make sure to show our gratitude to those who are serving our country and aren't able to spend Thanksgiving with their families. Our friend, Edwina, in particular, because this is her second Thanksgiving in a row that she has made a huge sacrifice and been deployed and away from her family. We miss her very much and can't wait for the day that she's state-side and able to spend more time with family and friends again!
Most of all, we want to thank God for everything that he has blessed our lives with. I know that we have more blessings than we are aware of, and none of them would be possible without Him providing!
So, on this Thanksgiving morning, be sure to count your blessings - they are more than you'll ever know!
Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!!!
