Thanksgiving 2011

We had a yummy dinner at the Cohen's this year! The turkey tyurned out to be the best ever which is hard to say because my dad makes an incredible turkey. We had fun as a family and invited my good friend Tylee from Alabama and her 2 boys to have dinner with us. I tried sweet potato pie for the first time ever, Tylee's Grandma's southern style recipe and it was delish!

I guess the best thing about Thanksgiving was that I got to speak to my Papa Roy for the last time, didn't know then that it would be the last but I'm sure glad I spoke to him... it was great to hear his sweet voice, to hear him say he loved me and ask about his great-grand babies was so special.... he told me that he wanted nothing more than to be there with us and enjoy a turkey dinner with cranberry sauce, I would have loved that too!

Thanksgiving 2008

We had Thanksgiving this year at our house which was absolutely great! The whole Cohen- Saczek clan came over and we ate & ate & ate! The food was delicious! and we had many sweet treats too.

Seany looked so cute in his Thanksgiving outfit! He also enjoyed the food especially Grandpa Cohen's fantastic Turkey which he makes every year!

Even Bailey made it to dinner- isn't she cute!

Gratitude!

I love the Holiday Season. I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and especially Christmas. It's such a wonderful time of year.
This year I feel so overjoyed with gratitude. I'm grateful to my Heavenly Father for so many blessings. I feel that everything in my life is coming together so beautifully.....I have so many wonderful people in my life! My life has a purpose and I feel so very very blessed.
Let's live each day to the fullest and lets tell the people around us how important they are and how much we love them!
Life is so extraordinary- Let's thank Our God every day, for the many wonderful things he allows us to have, the many talents he gives us to impact & touch people's lives, the incredible people that he surrounds us with that lift us up & teach us great things, and the little miracles we all experience day to day-- thanks to Him.

I'm grateful to all of you, for being my friends and family and people I can count on! Thank you!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

We had Thanksgiving Dinner @ the Cohen's.
Papa Cohen is famous for his turkey,
so we were really looking forward to it.
Here's all of us (except Patty, Mike, and Tom)
before digging into our feast!

We had a peaceful dinner, where we reflected on all of our blessings: Our family & friends, our health, the freedom's we enjoy living in this wonderful country, the little people in our lives (Andy & Sean), and all the wonderful blessings we receive abundantly from
Our Heavenly Fathers' hands.

Mama Cohen and Laurita were in charge of setting the table, and they did a great job.

Here's Tom, Laura, & Baby Sean posing for a quick family picture...
Say Cheese!

Baby Sean's first Turkey day experience,
too bad he couldn't try any of the food.

We had turkey, ham, 'Rueda de Puerco', mashed potatoes, stuffing (cuban style), rice, beans, salad, pumpkin pie, chocolate pudding pie, 'quesillo', jello, brownies,...... you get the point.
We probably each gained 5 pounds!!
