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.
