Many blessings to you!
We have been up early prepping the turkey and Faith has been a big help in the kitchen. She has been so excited for Thanksgiving! She even told our turkey "Happy Thanksgiving turkey!"Thankfully it defrosted just fine after yesterday I found out the boys put the turkey in the garage "freezer" after bringing it home from the grocery store (their job is to unload groceries and put things away) instead of the refrigerator like I asked them too. LOL Hmmmmm, I wonder if they really listen to me???
Faith and I have been outside this morning looking for pretty leaves to decorate the table with. She gets so excited about decorating and making things festive. Our house is in complete chaos with boxes all around getting ready for our up coming move, our dining room chairs are disassembled as I am in the middle of reupholstering the chair pads for our new house, so we will have to use our little breakfast table chairs to eat on. But. Life is good!! We have sooooo much to be thankful for!!!
The other day amongst all the chaos of preparing for our move and feeling very overwhelmed and stressed ( The holidays is not the best time to be moving) Faith brought this leaf to me and said "look Mommy, it is a heart just for you."
I have no idea where she found it as most of the leaves have changed color and I could find no other leaves around like it, but it was a reminder to slow down and just enjoy the simple and most important gifts in life.
Hoping you are very thankful today for all the simple gifts in your life!!!!!!!!!

Hi Colleen!!
Happy Thanksgiving, my friend!!! I hope you all had a great day. Glad it all worked out with the turkey!
That is such a sweet story about the heart leaf and yes....our little ones have an amazing way of reminding us big people to slow down and enjoy the little things that really matter.
I started addressing my Christmas cards the other day and I have left yours blank. When are you moving? Should I send it to your new address....if so, could you let me know what it is?
take care!
love,
Michelle
Oh how sweet...I loved hearing about your day!
I love days that are just sweet like this.
Happy belated Thanksgiving Colleen! Love the new header on your blog and can't believe how big the kids are getting. Sweet little Faith is so beautiful. Sorry I have been MIA lately. Hope you guys are doing great.

BTW, what a beautiful present Faith brought you. She is such a sweetie. I saw that you are moving. Not coming to the Northeast are you??? That would be awesome. Good luck with your move.
Hugs,
