25 Things to Be Thankful For

 I'm hoping mine looks like this and not burnt

Happy Thanksgiving! This is the first year I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner! Neil and I couldn't go home this year so we decided to have some international friends and friends from our church over. So excited, because we are going to decorate our tree too (that's tomorrows post). Also excited for my parents to come down tomorrow to spend the weekend with us!

This Thanksgiving we are focusing on the things we are thankful for, all the things God has given us. I hope your Thanksgiving can be filled with joy, love, and be reminded of all the things you should be thankful for too.
