Surprises~Baking~Gratitude

Monday was a great day. I'd been scheming with my good friend Anna to surprise my wonderful Husband with a 'new' bedroom for us. Our kids were together for 6 hours and played wonderfully the entire time. THE ENTIRE TIME! Thanks kids and Anna! Below are the results. Oh, with what she gave us, I only needed to spend $95. :)
I'm baking today for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Rolls from scratch as well as a pumpkin pie, also from scratch. I also have errands to run so that I'll not have to actually purchase the movies we rented from Blockbuster. ~smile~

I am so blessed. We as a Nation really have nothing to complain about. Look at China or Africa. Thank you Lord, help us to use this blessing with your wisdom.

I am blessed. I am blessed. When I wake up in the morning 'till I lay my head to rest. I feel you near me, you sooth me when I'm weary. Oh, Lord for all the worst and all the best. I am blessed. Not sure who wrote this song, but Jacki Velasquez sang it. This describes my heart.
I don't deserve my Hubby or children. I for sure don't deserve salvation or heaven. I live in a fab country and have wonderful family close by. Thank you Father. You are good and you give above and beyond.
My prayer is that you would count your blessings and praise God! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

That looks great! I love it! You'll have to let us know what Ben thinks. I think it is so great that you were able to make a romantic getaway right in your own home. A place for just the two of you. That is my goal for our room. To not be the keeper of storage or laundry and to be a clean, quiet, calm oasis for us. Bless you Katy...you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Right before he walked into the room he said his heart was racing. And then when he saw it I remember him saying he was about to cry. Lastly he said "You and Anna are a great team. How about I give you $95 and you can decorate each of the other rooms?" I said....Uhhhhh....YEAH!
Gotta' love that!
