I love Thanksgiving because you get to think about how wonderful life is and sit down to a home cooked meal with family and/or friends. I have so very much to be thankful for this year. I have a wonderful husband and son who fill my heart with joy each and everyday. I am always thankful for all of my friends and extended family who enrich our lives. I am thankful for the absolutely beautiful fall we had here with perfect fall weather and tons of trees to enjoy colored leaves. I am thankful that Dave has a job he loves but also one that doesn't make demands on his time outside of normal working hours. Since passing his licensing exam in August, I am thankful for the complete peace we now have in our lives. We have absolutely nothing going on or coming up. It's been a long long time and I treasure these moments of not having 100 things running through my head.
My first attempts at pumpkin pie (crust from scratch but pumpkin out of a can) and corn bread from scratch

I absolutely love the last picture! Jack looks beat after a fun Thanksgiving day (perfect shirt, by the way) and Dave looks so content and peaceful just lying with his son. Precious.
Amy,
I loved your first paragraph and am so happy you are just able to enjoy life right now and not have a ton going through your head. I hope I will be able to join you in that soon. It looks like your Thanksgiving was perfect and I hope your pies were as yummy as they looked!
Love you,
Alyssa
