We hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Unfortunately Steve had to work until 5:oopm:( We got up and all had breakfast together before he had to leave. Amy, Ethan & Mia found their spots to watch the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. It is a family tradition (at least for Amy...in Canada they don't have thanksgiving day parades) and Ethan & Mia love watching the marching bands. Ethan had his cymbals out banging away. Mia's instrument of choice was the maracas. After the parade we went to Amy's parents house for Thanksgiving dinner. Ethan & Mia had a ball playing with Uncle Scott & Auntie Sarah before dinner. We had a wonderful dinner complete with all the fixings. After pumpkin pie all of the cousins decided they were going to put on a "Dancing with the Stars" show for us. Mollie had Mia's blanket and was using it as a cape doing the pasa doble. After the show we tried to get some family pictures before everyone headed home. It was a wonderful day to reflect on what we are really thankful for. We realize how blessed we are to have our children home with us. Our God is so good and we are so thankful for everything he gives us.

Where's the pumpkin pie???

Ethan's food coma brought him to the floor

Today we give thanks to the Lord for all our blessings. Amongst the plates full of turkey, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie, we took time to acknowledge all that we are thankful for. We are thankful for our family and friends. The love and support they have shown and given us over this past year has been incredible. They have all been there for us along Mia's adoption journey. Often we all asked "Are we there yet?"......but didn't have an answer. We never imagined how emotional the roller coaster ride was going to be. But today we give thanks that the journey has ended and Mia is now home. We now look forward to our first Christmas as a family of four and any other new adventures we may encounter. Thank you to all of our family and friends for all that you do. We hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and gobbled till you wobbled:)
