Thanksgiving 2008

Today was a lovely day spent in a very traditional way. We slept in. Chancho played football. We ate lots of food at his parent's house. We ate lots of pie at my parent's house. It was a relaxing and happy day.

Tonight before family prayers String Cheese suggested we write down some of the things we are grateful for to save for each Thanksgiving. Why didn't the blogger think of that?

Loumy: I'm thankful for water, baths (pronounced bath-ez for some reason), and grass.
Deedle: I'm thankful for my stuffed animals, art, my blankets, my bed, my house, and my family.
String Cheese: I'm thankful for God, this Earth, and my family.
Chancho: I'm thankful for our food, our health, our nice warm home, my family, our church, and the country we live in.

And here are some of the things that I am grateful for:

* A handsome, kind, good, loving husband.
* Beautiful, smart, healthy children.
* New baby boy growing in my tummy.
* Four awesome sisters.
* Six wonderful brothers.
* Really good in-laws (parents and siblings)
* That my parents are healthy.
* Scores of nieces and nephews.
* Our country.
* All that I have learned from having Alopecia.
* The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
* My love for Haiti.
* Friends.
* Electricity, roads, clean water, and plenty of food to eat.
* An education.
* The opportunity I had to serve a mission for my church.
* My new bed.
* Safe neighborhood to live in.
* Good school and preschool for my children to attend.
* The beginning of Christmas celebrations!!!
