I’m eagerly anticipating Thursday. And I’m thankful my mom has turkey duty. As much as I love eating turkey, I can’t stand preparing it. I’m not good with raw meat and those birds are heavy! I’d much rather contend with rolling pins, butter, and bags of flour. And so I’m baking rolls, pies, and croissants (yes croissants!) for Thanksgiving. And as I get to work in the kitchen, I’ll think about the many moments this year that brought me joy and all the abundance that surrounds us. I hope everyone celebrating this week has a wonderful day with friends and family. These are a few of the many things I’ve feeling thankful for….
Meals with friends and family. “Supper” by Phoebe Wahl
A beautiful and healthy pregnancy.
The best husband (and father) in the world.
Good cups of coffee.
A new home….
and a nursery filled with handmade gifts and love.
And without any doubt…I’m most thankful for our sweet baby girl….
The best gift in the world.
Happy Thanksgiving to you! I like you even more after reading that you’re thankful for a good cup of coffee 🙂 I can see that you had a good year 🙂
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Clearly you are blessed in so many ways.
I love this post – such a great reminder to stop this holiday and really think about all the things we are thankful for!
While I’m doing all the rest of the meal, my husband is doing the turkey. Thank goodness – I just don’t like preparing it either!! Have a very very wonderful holiday Monet!!
Happy Thanksgiving, Monet! Hope you have a beautiful, wonderful day with your family. =)
Awwww…I love those baby pics!
Happy Thanksgiving!
THOSE EYES!
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving, it sounds like it will be delicious!
Lovely photos!! Those turkeys are pretty big at least you didn’t get stuck cooking one! Maybe next year 🙂 Have a Happy Thanksgiving
Could your daughter be any cuter? No : )
And her nursery is so cute! I love the mobile.
Such a great list!
Happy Thanksgiving, Monet!
Hope you have a fun Thanksgiving with your family!
Oh those darling baby eyes! So precious. And I’m thankful for hot coffee right now, too! Happy Thanksgiving Monet!
Happy Thanksgiving, Monet! You certainly have many things to be thankful for this year 🙂
That’s a lovely list of things to be thankful for. I love your fireplace. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and good luck with those croissants! xx
Happy Thanksgiving!
Love that painting! And all the pictures, too. This past year has been so great for you, and I’m so glad you shared it with us. Happy Thanksgiving.
Monet,
You have been blessed with a wonderful family, a great husband and father, and a darling baby with the most gorgeous eyes. Enjoy your Thanksgiving
So much love and happiness in these photos. 🙂 Wishing you a wonderful holiday with your luvs!
Hope you enjoy your little turkey!
What I adore most about your blog is that love spills over in every post. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving to you, Monet.
Have a wonderful first Thanksgiving with your daughter! I don’t much like to cook turkeys either. You are right, they are heavy! About 5 years ago, my husband got interested in deep frying our turkeys for Thanksgiving. Not quite as healthy, but I no longer have to cook them AND it frees up the oven.
Awwwwww! So tender! It’s been a good year… one with the usual ups and downs, but so much to be thankful for.
Wishing you and your beautiful family a very happy Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving, you do indeed have a lot to be thankful for…enjoy!
Having a heart of gratitude leads to great things. Wishing you and your family Thanksgiving love and joy.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Monet! And lovely, lovely post, dear! x
A lovely post, Monet. Happy thanksgiving to you and your dear family.

I love this post Monet. All of us should definitely count our blessings, all the days of the year! We don’t have Thanksgiving here in Australia but posts like these are helping me to count my blessings too! I’m so grateful that you’ve had a beautifully rich and blessed year. May you have a wonderful Thanksgiving together! xx
You have a lot to be thankful for-Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
