Giving Thanks

Grandma's house for Thanksgiving Day!

(Unfortunately my camera battery died right after this picture)

Thanksgiving play at School

This year we found ourselves giving thanks for many things. We were so grateful to our wonderful friends who helped us through a difficult miscarriage. We are so grateful for Papa's who paint seven year old girls bedrooms blindingly pink. We are thankful for Grandma's who love and hug on our snotty nosed children. We are thankful to Poppop's turning 70 and putting together a wonderful reunion at the beach in celebration thereof. We are grateful to Grandma's who love to talk to seven year old girls on the phone every Friday, even when Skype isn't working so well. We are thankful for Aunts and cousins who travel with Grandma's 8 or so hours to an American Girl party. We are even thankful for boy cousins who pull our hair and know which of our buttons to push to make us squeal. We are thankful for sisters who buy us early Christmas presents that thanks to the cold weather we have worn every day for a week. (thanks for the boots Aunt Anna) We are thankful for the family it feels we never truly get to see, but we hope they know we love them. We are thankful for wonderful teachers who put up with us annoying and confusing parental types who only want what is best for our children.

We are mostly thankful to God for our health, our home and each other. We are so lucky to have two beautiful, smart girls that make each day a joy(even when we are not sleeping at night.)
