Thankful






Thanksgiving meant so much to me this year.  There was so much to be thankful for, this year more than ever.  My dad had a major health scare which he ended up having open heart surgery a week before Thanksgiving.  I have never been so scared in my life.  He made it through it, and is recovering awesome.  Which we are all so thankful for!  I am so thankful for having kids in times like these.  I called them my little angels because they were so brave through the whole thing, and told me that Papa was going to be just fine.  I feel like I learn a lesson from my kids daily, and that I am also thankful for. 

We had a thankful tree in the center of the table, and each night at dinner we said what we were most thankful for.  The kids loved this!  Some of the comments were:
Playing in the snow and Christmas, Isaac
My teachers,  Macie
Mommys good cooking, Roger
Macie for being a good friend, and Isaac for taking care of me when I was sick,  Sarah

Those were just a few of the many comments. It was fun hearing each night what the kids came up with. I will definitely look forward to doing that again next year. 

We learned that there is so much to be thankful for everyday, not just Thanksgiving.
