COUNTING MY BLESSINGS

I am so blessed!  I'm so thankful for my Heavenly Father and His Son!  They have sent me angels here on earth that I count as blessings!  And thanksgiving is the perfect time to think of my angel blessings:
1.  My amazing husband!  He made the turkey, the potatoes and the DeGooyer stuffing from scratch!  He serves me and our family daily!  He works hard!  He is a great patriarch and spiritual leader!  I really do "tip my hat to the Keeper of the Stars" for bring this handsome guy into my life 22 years ago!
My Eternal Companion
He's so cute!
I kinda like this guy!
Scott and Sundy
2.  Kotten Kandy brings such joy into my life!  I'm soooo glad we still have her in our home for a bit longer.  She is creative!  She is happy!  And she's motivated to do good always!  Her NaNoWriMo projects make life with her in November even more fun!
My little author!
She never stops writing!
And sometimes... I write with her!
3.  Key Lime Pie may not have been with us in person - but I'm grateful for a beautiful daughter who keeps us in the loop!  She is so sweet about sending pictures to her mom!  And her joy, smile and laughter are contagious!
Cody, Kiara and Spencer
Kiara's boyfriend and brother!
Spencer is another boy that Sheila let's me claim as mine!
They "saved the world!"  And had some fun!
4.  My mom and dad rock!  They came all the way to Kentucky to spend Thanksgiving with us!  I truly have wonderful parents!  Mom is creative, fun, loving and one of my bestest friends!  Dad is talented, wise and kind!  I wish they could be close to me ALL the time!
My mom LOVES Scrabble!
We broke bread before Thanksgiving!
Visiting and making stuffing....
And MORE Scrabble with mom!
5.  I have the bestest friends ever!  (Even my mom thinks so!)  And I love their kiddos too!  How blessed am I?!  And they spent Thanksgiving with me too!  Heavenly Father has really spoiled me!
18 FRIENDS AND FAMILY - But we call them all family!
Yum!
"MY" Bettenhausens!
Aren't these the cutest kids ever?!
Love Juice and Taffy!
Love Maple and Jelly Bean!
She was teaching him how to dance!
Love Kotten Kandy, Taffy and Raisin!
They are adorable!
My Scrabble partner!
6.  I LOVE crafting!  And I'm blessed to "do" crafts with "my" kids!  All of them: including the ones my friends let me "borrow!" 
Mine - Mil's
Our snowmen craft project!
I'm blessed even more than all this!  I have a sister who is also a best friend!  I have two great brothers who I love (and I think they love me too!)  And I have a beautiful home!  And I live in gorgeous Kentucky!  And I'm healthy!  And... And... And...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING, Y'ALL!
