Tryptophan Overload Ahead!
For me, it’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is on Thursday already!! That means Christmas is right around the corner! Who’s ready? Not me.
What are your plans for this holiday? The 4 of us will be spending it at my in-laws. We are very lucky to have all of our immediate family in town. That means never having to travel during the holidays!!
Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? We simply have the traditional dinner, something I always look forward to! My in-laws are hosting, and they have a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining. That is good news for us as the forecast predicts a high of 75 on Thursday! Can’t get better then that! Over Thanksgiving weekend, I typically DON’T shop on Black Friday, unless it’s online shopping! I don’t really like crowds at stores. I DO decorate for Christmas, though. It’s one of my favorite traditions! And I DO listen to all the Christmas music I can!
What are you Thankful for this year? I’m thankful for our health. We have had no major illness (even Emma’s bout with H1N1 was relatively uneventful, except for the ER visit). Of course I’m Thankful for my family. I have a great little family and I’m super blessed that God gave them to me! And I’m so Thankful for the opportunities that have been given to us. Sometimes when things come up, we don’t see them as opportunities until further down the road. Has that happened to you?
This won’t be my last post this week, in fact I have a few things in store. I’m trying to share a video that I shot of Emma in ballet class last week. It’s adorable. However I need a plugin for it, and I’m still learning all this tech-y stuff.

Thanksgiving 2007











“Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
And forget not all his benefits.
Amen.
Our families prayer for seven generations, counting Emma and Mason, from the 1st and 2nd verse of the 101 Psalm.
