This year has been one of the hardest years I have ever had, yet I still have so much to be Thankful for.
Molly and Emma were so close to not being apart of our every day lives, and the fact that they are able to be here to share in this holiday with us, means more to me than I could ever explain.
This year, I am especially Thankful for my sweet, beautiful,healthy baby girls!
Our 1st Thanksgiving as a Family of Four!
Daddy and Molly! Love that sweet smile on her face.
Emma is making that same face in the next picture.
Me and My sweet little blessings! So thankful for them!
Molly would not eat for Mommy, but she would eat for her Granny cause Granny lets her feed herself! And what a big girl job she did too!
Every one of us tried to get Emma to sleep because she was fighting it SO bad and Granny was the only one to succeed! Thank you Mom!
My friend Christine also spent Thanksgiving with us. We were so glad to have her join us! We are very thankful for you Ms. Christine!!
Thankful for my husband on this day, and every day!
My Grandma's Famous Pecan Pie
As a child,Thanksgiving and Easter were the 2 holidays we spent every year in Florida with my Grandparents. As an Adult, Rick and I would still go to Florida and spend the Thanksgiving Holiday with them. Last year, was an exception to that rule because I was what felt like deathly ill when I was pregnant with the girls. I could barely get out of bed to take a shower, no way I could have made that long 9 hour trip.
Every year, it was known that whereever Thanksgiving was being held, you could count on My Grandma to show up with her Pecan Pie!
To my knowledge, I am the only that she gave her recipe too.
I couldn't dare, sit at the table this year and not have my Grandma's special pie there with us.
So in her loving memory,on Thanksgiving Morning, I made my very 1st pecan pie! And did my best to follow her recipe step by step.
I cried the entire time I made it, and cried even more tears right before it was time to eat it but I am so glad that I was able to do it.
I know that for my family, eating pecan pie this year, was so much MORE than just a pie for dessert. Every bite was full of so much love and also so much pain.
But sharing it together, brought us all so much closer this year than ever.
We Love you Forever and Ever Grandma, and While you are not physically here, your legacy lives on in each of our hearts.
We Hope That All of You also had a Very Happy Thanksgiving!
