Thanksgiving

What to say? First thing my mom called me to say her and my dad were taking my Grandma to the emergency room. She has been having a lot of health issues lately. Then Ben came home from paintballing extremely sick. So we didn't eat dinner until 4:30 and Ben wasn't able to come. My Grandma was really dehydrated, so they pumped her full of fluids and sent her home. I was a single mother all day. Didn't like that at all and I hated leaving Ben home on Thanksgiving. The highlight of the day was my mom's turkey!! So good, I don't think I have ever had a better turkey. Our family is getting bigger every year. This year we have three new members, Makenzie (Michael's wife), Hunter (Susie's baby), and of course our sweet Fletcher. We were short some family this year my brother Tony and his wife Stef, they went with her family this year, and of course my Grandma and Benjamin C.
I wanted to take this opportunity to say how thankful I am for my sweet little family and all of our extended. This time of year is awesome, because you really stop and think about what you are grateful for. I am thankful for Ben, we have had a tough year. We have been tested in so many different ways and I am going to say we are pretty strong. I think we can definitely say we are closer than ever and we know how important and special our marriage and relationship is. Without Ben I wouldn't have my kids. Jarrett is getting so big. He is so tenderhearted. He is such an awesome big brother and a big help to me. Isabelle is my little helper. She is always wanting to help me with everything. She is so smart, just like her daddy. I love her little drawings and notes she leaves me. McGregor is our comedian. There is something about Gregor that draws people to him. I love it when he tells me he loves me. He always says thank you. I am so grateful that he is still here with us. And yes I am thankful he is potty trained and that it went so smooth. I look at little Fletcher and I am so thankful Heavenly Father knows what we need more than we know ourselves. I always look at him and think if we wouldn't have had a surprise he may have never came to our house and what a sad thought that is. He has been a blessing to me. He is so happy and mellow. I can't get enough of him. I want the rest of our families to know how much I love and cherish all of you. We have had a rough couple of years and I want to thank everyone for their love and support and help through it all. Thanks for your patience and listening ears. You are the greatest!!
