Thanksgiving Thankfulness

I'll start out with pictures but read on to the bottom for my thankfulness list!

This was right before we left for my parent's house. This was the only picture of them both looking at the same time.

I LOVE this picture of Caleb. It's rare that I catch his big toofy grin on camera.

Ethan actually wanted me to take a picture of just him...and he smiled on cue!

Here's Caleb enjoying his scrumptious Thanksgiving lunch...after everyone else had already eaten. He napped through the whole thing which was nice because Mondo and I actually got to eat together.

I've given up sippy cups for a while. He chugs them and lets the milk spill out all over his shirt.

It was a nice day so the kids ate outside which meant it was nice and quiet inside! I barely caught Ethan before he bolted from the table.

He's walking everywhere now.

Ethan had so much fun with his cousins. The stayed outside ALL day.

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's that time of year to think about what we are thankful for. I asked Ethan the other day what he was thankful for. His response..."What does that mean?" Ok, I forgot, he's 3. I told him being thankful was being happy for things that you have like a family, a house, etc. He then said, "I'm thankful for toys." There you have it. Typical 3 year old answer I guess. :-)

What don't I have to be thankful for this year? Here is my list of Thanksgiving Thankfulness:

-I have two beautiful, healthy children. Just search some blogs of sick children...you'll feel very

blessed.

-I have a wonderful husband who I love more now than the day I married him.

-I have a home that we can all grow old in located in a wonderful, close-knit neighborhood.

-I have a job that I love that allows me to work "full time" (weekend nights only) so that I can

stay home with my kids during the week.

-I have a close family who see the importance of being together on holidays.

-I have a church home.

-I have my health (sort of). ;-)

-I have a husband who goes to Mission Arlington every Thanksgiving morning to deliver food to those less fortunate...unlike his selfish wife who wants him to stay home.

Everyone ready for Christmas???
