This year Thanksgiving was different for my family and I. However; as I am learning, different doesn't mean bad. My Mom had to work today, Gamie was in Kansas City, and the boys are in Oklahoma. Dad tried to talk me into hiking or going out to eat. After a great debate I decided to cook. It was something I could finally do for my parents. I am exhausted. The theory was "go big or go home". Okay, so it wasn't "big" by any means, but it was for me (considering my specialty is "Easy Mac"). Christenson, party of three, was served green bean casserole, Hawaiian rolls, scalloped pineapple, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, turkey, and chocolate peanut butter pie. It is probably the most I have done, in one day, since March of 2009. Anyways, as I mentioned last week, I have so much to be thankful for. As I prayed tonight, I was struggling to find the
right words to express my gratitude. All I could come up with was, "Thank you for the gift of life". Look how far we've come.
I hope you had a very beautiful Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for all of you. Don't forget to click

Wow, Ceci! I am quite impressed! You made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! Ryan Paul told you me you were cooking, but I didn't expect so much food! I really don't think I could have done all that myself! I'm kind of an Easy Mac cook myself;) I am so glad you had a great Thanksgiving! Miss you and love you, Jena
