Thanksgiving

It's so sad that we rush through Thanksgiving to get to Christmas.  I must admit that I was in Wal-Mart today buying new Christmas lights because the kids (and myself) are so anxious to put up a Christmas tree. We have so much to be thankful for and I'm glad we can take at least one day out of our busy lives to slow down and be thankful.

Hugh is the king of games at our house and made up a game where we throw a ball to someone and they have to say something they are thankful for before throwing it to the next person.  We all love the game and it is really great to hear some of the things the kids come up with.  In the never ending quest for "stuff" that our society has everyone working toward I'm glad to take time to Thank God for what is really important.  (It's His "stuff" anyway--not ours!)

I'm so thankful for a wonderful husband who loves me in spite of my many imperfections.  He is a wonderful father who isn't afraid to.......

rock out on a little pink guitar when.....

the rest of the band is jammin', and who

brings home things like this to his girls because he's just nice like that. 

I'm also thankful for my band and the noise and chaos they create.

Happy Thanksgiving!
