Well, once again I’ve found myself with little time to do
the “extra” things I like to do like writing and working on pictures.
Therefore, I haven’t had much time to write blog posts or update pictures on
here or facebook. So in an attempt to catch up I’m going to post several
updates over the next day or so.
Thanksgiving was lovely this year. I just have to write
about it so these memories will be etched deep inside this heart of mine. The
kids were sick over the break but antibiotics and medicine helped them feel
better very quickly. On Thanksgiving Day we loaded up the car and headed to Cracker
Barrel. I never thought we would be “those” people who went out to eat on
Thanksgiving. I’m laughing right now because I know now that “those” people are
just regular people who maybe can’t cook for one reason or another or maybe
they want to use their time with family and friends rather than in the kitchen.
I totally get that now. It was great, no clean up at all. We had a delicious
lunch and enjoyed being together not having to worry about anything else.
On Friday we spent the day at my parents house celebrating
the holiday. There is not one person I know that can cook a Thanksgiving meal
like my momma! She’s the best! Her food is always so delicious, and we all look
forward to eating. On Saturday we spent the day with Tim’s parents. It was a
wonderful time, especially since we don’t see his side of the family as much as
mine. This year it felt so much more relaxing spreading out the days with the
families. I hope we continue to do it it this way in the future.
My family did 30 Days of Giving Thanks during the entire
month of November. I actually posted mine on Facebook for others to read. Maybe
it got annoying to read my posts, I don’t know…but it felt great to spend 30
days in a row just giving thanks and not complaining about things. Jackson is
still too little to give input but Makayla joined the conversation every night
around the dinner table. It’s so heartwarming to hear your child say what they’re
thankful for. And we have A LOT to be thankful for. I will write that in
another post to keep this one from being too long. ;-)
Blessings,
Shawna
