giving thanks today

for Pilgrims and Indians.

• a wonderful "hands-on" dad to my kids and best friend to me.
• two wonderful families both near and far.
• two jobs that allow us to be home with our kids as much as any away from home job can and allow us to work together in the same building doing the same thing.
• a home that is big enough to accommodate our growing family.
• friends to laugh with.

Today we enjoyed spending time with both sides of the family. Went to lunch at my sisters with my side of the family. Lots of yummy food of course. Good conversation with some "conversation starters." Drawing names for Christmas. And fun playing with cousins. (not so good naps, but oh well, it's Thanksgiving.)

After dinner and naps we came home and Chad's family came over for yummy desserts and snacks. More yummy food, good conversations and playing with cousins. Both girls crashed tonight. Addy even before 7. Ended the night playing this.

And now I'm thankful for the warm cozy bed for me to crash into before two little girls call for me to come get them up before 8 in the morning. Lots to be thankful for, that's for sure.
