Happy Thanksgiving!

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- In annual White House tradition, President Bush on Wednesday granted a reprieve for a turkey -- and its alternate -- so that they can spend the rest of their lives at Disneyland.

The two birds, which online voters on the White House Web site anointed "Flyer" and "Fryer," were raised on a farm in Monett, Missouri. They weigh about 30 to 35 pounds each

In a brief speech, Bush called Americans a "grateful people."

"We're grateful for our beautiful land. We're grateful for a harvest big enough to feed us all, plus much of the world. We're grateful for our freedom. We're grateful for our families. And we're grateful for life itself," he said.

Grateful hearts at Wendy's.

Last night Brandon and I stopped by wendy's to eat. We saw the cutest little family and since we were sitting close we got to hear their conversation. Two sisters and their mom were saying how grateful they were for everything in their lives. Wow. It was so sweet to hear another family expressing their thanks for family and friends in their lives. The mom said she was thankful that she had friends that listened to her and were there for her. I thought it was such a neat thing to be grateful for and i realized how lucky i was to have such good friends and family in my life.

During the time it took to have Ava, we really relied on our friends and family. So thanks everyone for your support and prayers!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
