What We Are Thankful For


Today Curtis was home with pneumonia. We took him Sunday to see the doctors for an ear infection and found out he had pneumonia. So after a long day home with dad, he was ready for some mommy time. We talked about the things we were thankful for. Curtis said that he was thankful for his Friends and Family.

When Clint got home I asked him what are you thankful for and he replied everything. I ask but what and he said his brother and Pa and Granny Turner. He said he was lucky to still have them around.

Our conversations around the tree tonight as we were putting it up was pretty teary eyed. It is amazing at how deep these kids can be. Sometimes I have to remember they are still just babies. By the way our tree looks great. The boys did a great job with it.

Now I am thankful for my Family, Friends, my Class and the many blessing the Lord has chosen to give to me. Someone told me if you put your Christmas tree up before Thanksgiving you are not Thankful. Boy, how wrong is that. Me and the boys talked about how blessed and thankful we were while we were putting up the tree. They found their First Christmas ornaments and just thought they were the cutest things ever. They love to look at all my ornament the kids give me over the years and I can actually remember who gave them to me. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and is safe if you travel.

Make sure you come by Bath and Body Friday Morning from 6:00 until 1:00 and see me. There are going to be some good buys girls. A free gift if you make a $30 purchase. It is worth the wait. Hope to see you bright eyed and bushy tailed.

I put my tree up on Sunday and am so "Thankful" that I don't have to worry about it while we are off for Thanksgiving Break! :) What a sweet memory you and your boys have made.
