Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Ooops!
I have been sidetracked lately.  Sorry for my lack of updates.  I am trying to prepare for a fun Thanksgiving dinner this year.  My folks won't be able to make it until we eat, so I want to be very prepared so I am not running around like a TURKEY with my head cut off.  ;)
     I printed out some fun activities to keep the girls busy while the Hubby and I cook.  Hopefully some maze placemats and coloring pages will help!  This is by far, my favorite time of year!  I am looking forward to Thursday so very much!  I my attempt mashed potatoes in the crockpot this year.  We shall see how they turn out.  I have gotten a lot of ideas from Pinterest and The Food Network shows this year!  I hope my Mom and I can do some Christmas baking on Friday.  I am having a candle party/Holiday cookie exchange on the 15 and can't wait.  It doesn't take much to make me happy does it?  I will try to post a few pictures showing why I have been so busy.  Our school had a Fall Carnival on Halloween and I was basically living at school that entire week.  It was a lot of fun though! 
     I pray ya'll have a wonderful Thanksgiving surrounded by lots of yummy food and loved ones.  God Bless and remember how much you have to be thankful for!!!  I have been posting everyday on Facebook what I am thankful for.  Most important is my precious Savior.  Followed closely by my sweet Husband and adorable children and wonderful Parents and In-laws.  I am blessed with some amazing friends and family, and we are very thankful that we are all healthy and living where we are.  God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!!!
