My family.

My in-laws, who are visiting this week, and who always make me feel like a guest in my own home. This morning, my mother-in-law asked if she could please change Noah's diaper so I could go take a hot shower. I think I'm in heaven.

Our early Christmas present---an over-the-range microwave!---which my father-in-law kindly installed this week...

... And (glorious!) the extra counter space it gives us. (Our kitchen is a tad on the small side.)

A husband who is willing to indulge his wife's request to fold the napkins decoratively for Thanksgiving dinner.

This fold is called "bird of prey." Thank you Google.

French's french fried onions and Bruce's Yams. Gotta love that Bruce.

Pumpkin pie, and the joy it brings.

Jesus Christ, and the freedom to worship Him.
So much to be thankful for... Including you, friends. Have a great holiday!

Lauren, you're making my mouth water . . . and I already enjoyed my Thanksgiving meal! I think it has something to do with missing my mom's cooking this holiday. Your yams and pumpkin pies brought it all back. (Well, it was already back, but it brought it back AGAIN.)
Yum.
Congratulations on your new microwave and the gift of family and time to really enjoy things like a long, hot shower. I'm so glad for the many things you're thankful for this Thanksgiving day.
Hey, I know that older couple!!
How funny....our napkins, though paper, were folded the SAME exact way at our table today!! (Check out the blog...but not til tomorrow...too much in a food coma to do it tonite...LOL!!)
