THANKSGIVING DAY

(Oh check out the turkey I made in Paislee hair for Thanksgiving, it looked so dang cute!)We switch every other year like everyone else does to each side of our families. This year was Chad's family so we went to the church with his grandparents and all the family. There are a ton of people and lots & lots of food, which together is a great time. After dinner and games we headed over with my family to eat some pie. At my Aunt's house we came up with our game plan for black Friday. I started my shopping day at 12:00 am with Chad's mom and sisters and then met up with my mom, aunts and cousins around 4:00 am. There were so many more people out and about shopping this year, it was CRAZY!!! But tons of fun like always, around noon is when my cousin and I start to get the "anything and everything" is funny giggles. I got home around 2:00 pm and went straight down for a two hour nap before putting up our Christmas decorations. Good times, good times, I LOVE IT!!!I AM THANKFUL FOR...
This Thanksgiving I really had the things I was thankful for on my mind all day long. Of course like most people I am thankful for Chad, Paislee, my family, Chad's family, our home, good health, food on the table etc. However, this year I am really thankful for trials. I know that might sound weird but trials build you up when you didn't know it was possible. They push you to the edge when you don't think you can handle anymore and then they make you stronger than you ever thought possible. So this Thanksgiving I am thankful for the hard times in my life, the times when my Heavenly Father knew I could handle more even though I thought I was going to break.
