I love Thanksgiving. We have always done Thurdsay at my parents and Friday at Donn's family even since we were dating. It works so well. We went to my parents and my grandmother and my aunt and uncle came. It was a nice day and the weather was great as well. Friday, we went to Donn's uncles house. The kids had a blast with their cousins. I love seeing the kids play with their cousins. I miss that they don't get to see my family or extended family. Its sad. We have had a busy few weeks and now its 4 weeks til Christmas! wow!
The last few weeks have been so busy with cubscouts, Donn's games starting, doctors appointments, and 2 cases of pneumonia (me & Ty) which took both of us 2 rounds of meds. The next few weeks are filled with things as well. Ladies outing at church, friends & family birthdays, early Christmas family gathering, and fitting in time to shop.
Since today is the day after Thanksgiving, I am going to tell what I am thankful for. I am not a mushy person so here it goes....
I am Thankful for Donn,who coaches for us so we can afford extras in our lives. For Ty, who is a great & talented kid. For Ellie, who is funny and loving. For my parents, who help us out so much. For my grandmother, who means the world to me. For Donn's parents, who are the best in-laws I could ask for. For Donn's brother and sister and their families, who we can go weeks or months not talking to and call once and would do anything for us. For our church family, who is a blessing to our lives. & For our church small group family, who we enjoy getting to know better and our kids growing up with great friends. I am thankful to have such great family & friends who have listened to me ramble about the problems in our lives lately that I have stressed about. Talking about an issue helps me get things out and not dwell.
I am excited about Christmas and the months to come.
Happy Thanksgiving!
