I am thankful because...
My turkey turned out. 
Whenever we host Thanksgiving there's a part of me that worries over some sort of turkey fiasco. So far that's never happened, but I am sure that it is because of my vigilant worrying.
Will donned a pair of gloves and did all the prep work for me because of my pinkie. If you've never tried to tell your spouse how to do something kind of complicated like preparing a turkey the way you want it done, it's kind of hard. I kept really wanting to just reach over and do it myself. But Will was awesome and it came out great. Sorry I can't figure out to rotate this.
We were able to spend the day with family. My Mom and Randy and my brother and his family and Will's parents all came, it was really a special day. Mom took a bunch of pictures, especially of all the cousins playing, so when I get copies I will post them. Here's my brother holding Bella, that's his wife Heather next to him, she's due in March and we're really excited!
Will and his Dad got to have a father son trip to Austin to see the Longhorns play the Aggies. 
In case you live under a rock, UT beat the stuffin out of A&M. This means there is a wisp of a chance that we may get to play a championship game.
I had today off and got to relax with my little ones. Will was gone most of the day because they had to drive back from Austin and then he had to help his parents out with some things at their place so I had the kids with me today. We slept in and then played all day. No rush, no where to be, very relaxing.
Bella and I were folding clean laundry when she came upon a pair of Jacob's underpants. Elmo underpants. Bella LOVES Elmo and decided that the warm-from-the- dryer Elmo underpants would be a fine love-y to cuddle up with at nap time.
Late in the day I took them for a walk around this "lake" in our neighborhood. [I write it that way because it is one of those fake lakes with the tinted blue water and big spray fountains. The kind of lake that I'm sure Bella will sit beside and write snarky teen poetry about someday. (I sit here/besides this lake/it is so blue and it is so FAKE/)whatever. Anyway, it is pretty and the kids like it a lot now, and I figure we had better enjoy it since we have at best about a decade before the teen angst kicks in.] Anyway, they weren't dressed up or anything but I got some good photos that I'm really pleased with. I know there's so many similar ones but their expressions are different in each one and I couldn't choose.
