Thanksgiving is always the time of year that I reflect on the things in my life that I simply could not live without. This year I had a friend who challenged me to be thankful for one thing everyday for the month of November and to post it on my Facebook page. I did it and often found myself having to decide which thing I would publicly declare thankful for that particualr day. My list of thankfulness has grown and I am thankful that I do indeed to have so much to be thankful!! This past year has been one of challenges and one of greatness (you will read more about that in the Christmas letter - if you don't follow my blog regularly).
We had the oppurtunity to spend Thanksgiving with both sides of our family this year. On Thanksgiving day, we spent it with Cassie, Lou and Grammy and in Omaha. We had sucha great time splashin at Coco Keys, but felt a great abscence that the Welsh's were not able to be with us. The weather outside was frightful (okay just cold and windy), but the weather inside was warm, welcoming and a balming 84 degrees at Coco Keys...yes, we went swimming!!!
We also had a great time celebrating with Tony's entire family at the farm in Friend. It is good my children get some "farm life" expereince, because this city girl is not a fan of petting animals or the smells on the farm (except for Karen's candles, and the smell of yummy food cooking). The petted baby lambs, horses, chickens, and who knows what else. They recieved strict instructions NOT to touch the cats though...mom can't handle those!!! We had a wonderful day with cousins, extended family and the company of those we love. The weather was perfect and the girls and Uncle Harold went on search of the perfect Christmas tree to decorate for the birds. We mad peanut butter pine cones, popcorn and cranberry strings on the tree...a great time was had by all. We even got to make smores on the fire (something I am sure my girls will talk about for a while)!!!
