For Thanksgiving day this year we went to Darren's grandma and grandpa's out in Payette. It was great because we thought we wouldn't get to see any distant family this year. But, in the week before Thanksgiving things fell into place for everyone. We all just spent time together and ate and ate and ate. And I was so excited that my gluten/dairy free pumpkin pie worked out and tasted good! Let me tell you how hard it is when you have half of your family that can't eat gluten. But, through trial and error it has gotten easier and easier. I have found many great recipes, and found the best brands to buy. So, if you know anyone who is struggling with a gluten free diet I would love to help with recipes and advice.
This is Aiden and Kyler's Nonie and Papa. They have so many grandmas and grandpas and great grandmas and great grandpas that Aiden decided that he would call Darren's mom and stepdad Nonie and Papa.
This is what Kyler did during picture time.
Me and my honeyI love Thanksgiving because it really helps me remember all the things that I have to be grateful for. Things have been really tight lately but instead of thinking of all the things I don't have I try
remember all the things we do have. I was told that if you can pay your rent, gas for your car, food, and have clothes to wear you are in the 1% of the whole population of the world. Whether it is true or not it helps put things into perspective for me. I am so grateful for my warm home, that my hubby and I each have a running car, for my wonderful suportive husband, two fun little boys, good suportive family, we are employed, my friends and the people that inspire me, and the programs and people I have been blessed to be apart of that has help me be a stronger mother and woman. Thank you all so much for being apart of my life! Love and blessings to you all!
