You all know what time of year it is... Thanksgiving time!

xD It seemed like it took forever for it to come. But it's finally today. :] Something about waking up to the smells of mum's apple and pumpkin pies just makes the world seem so much better.

Not only is my mum's dinner for Thanksgiving insanely wicked good...

but it's the tradition of it all that really gets me. I remember when I was a kid I use to wake up, run to the kitchen just in time to see my mum getting started, and the second that bird was in the oven I would run to the t.v. and flip back and forth from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and marathons of my favorite shows like Angry Beavers or Hey Arnold!.

I think one of my favorite parts about Thanksgiving is that
my mum seems so happy on the day. Maybe that's because she knows we'd all move mountains to get to her turkey. :3 But still, I'm thankful she can smile on this day. So, this year, I'm going to go over some things I'm thankful for.
I'm thankful for this warm house and food we're blessed with each day. Thankful for my family's good health and healing. Thankful for the blessings of having such a big family, otherwise we'd lose out on all the fun in the holidays. And I'm thankful that my family and I stick together through thick and thin.
I'm thankful for the little happy moments my family and I have together. 
Family is irreplaceable and I'm going to enjoy every second I have with them
(even if they won't let you play Assassin's Creed brotherhood yet--that's right I'm talking to you two M & S) 
And now I leave you with the great christian rock band
P.O.D and they're awesome song "ALIVE"[link] Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath I take
I won't take you for granted (I won't take you for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)
Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside (Tell the world how I feel inside)
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that I've seen you (Now that I've seen you)
I can neva look away
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)
Now that I know you
(I could never
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I could neva look away)
Now that I know you
(I could neva
Turn my back away)
Now that I see you
(I believe no matta
What they say!)
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)
Bless us,
O Lord,
and these your gifts,
which we are about to receive
from your bounty.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
