Just a quick post to wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving from my family to yours!
Gosh, I sure am thankful for those two little faces in the above pictures. I can’t imagine my life with out them. It’s probably cliche to say, but having children is like having your heart walk around outside your body. What a great joy they bring to our lives!
And I am definitely thankful for this man……..The Cottage Papa! What a truly magnificent father and partner. So thankful that he chose me to be his for life!
I hope you all enjoy your turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing, green beans, sweet potatoes, cranberries, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and whatever else your Thanksgiving feast consists of. But most of all I hope you enjoy your family and friends and take time to snuggle and hug your loved ones! They’re what life’s all about, right?
Thank you so much for reading The Cottage Home!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
