I'm so glad I'm not a turkey...

My favorite of all the songs I sing with my preschool kids is a Thanksgiving one. It goes like this...

I'm so glad I'm not a turkey, a turkey, a turkey...

I'm so glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving Day!

They stuff you and bake you, and then they all taste you!

I'm so glad I'm not a turkey on Thanksgiving Day!

Just another thing to be thankful for today! :)

I couldn't let this day pass without a quick post about a few of the things I am thankful for. Surprisingly, this difficult week has really reminded me of how very blessed I am. Here, let me prove it...

See this Thanksgiving dinner?

My amazing husband made it all by himself! Yes, he bought the turkey at the Honeybaked Ham Company (yum!)...but he put a tablecloth on the table, put the food in serving dishes and even put the rolls in a basket! If this doesn't say I love you...I don't know what does! Especially when you realize he is also doing everything else around here (he is being very strict about the doctors bed-rest instructions!) Am I a lucky girl or what?!

See these two?

They are healthy and happy and seriously cute...and I get to be their mom! :)

You know what else?

I have...

a loving extended family,

fantastic friends,

knowledge of the gospel,

a competent and caring doctor,

the peace of knowing my Heavenly Father is watching out for me,

a roof over my head,

a warm bed to sleep in,

Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream,

...

like I said...

TRULY BLESSED

and

VERY THANKFUL!

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving too!

P.S. For those of you wanting an update: I am doing good. Like I said, Adam is making sure I rest a lot, which has made my recovery very easy. I have had very little pain and a lot of peace of mind concerning the test results. Thanks again for all of your comments - the love and concern means a lot to me!
