I know this is a little late, but better late than never right!? We had a very fun Thanksgiving this year, as usual, visiting the families in Houston. We ate great food, as always, had fun family time, and I even got to spend kidless girl time with my sister which was lots of fun!
Grandpa Farmer was here for Thanksgiving this year and this man just amazes me. This is Daniel's almost 92 year old Grandpa with Christopher, almost 7 months old. Grandpa is in such great health and puts most 70 year olds to shame! We went to a Christmas tree farm the day after Thanksgiving and he was walking all through the forest carrying a measuring stick for the tree and did a great job keeping up with us! Not only does he NOT need a cane, wheel chair, dentures, a nursing home, or any of those other "old-people" things, but he does an amazing job holding a conversation and following a football game! Anyways, he is a great Godly man and an honor to be around. I hope my boys will follow in his footsteps!
The things I am forever thankful for-
1. My family. I often take for granted the blessing I have of staying at home with my kids and not having to put them in a daycare or having to go to work. Often times I get burned out or frustrated with all of the chores and often "unnoticed" work I feel I do, but I need to remind myself that this is a great blessing to be able to capture all of the sweet moments and fun memories we have. I'm also thankful to have been raised in a Christian home! I really understood how blessed I was with that after meeting with Mormon missionaries for a couple months this year. Wow, are we blessed!
2. My church. I am so thankful to have such an awesome church to attend. I absolutely love the worship music every Sunday! I also love our children's ministry and feel it is the best place for our kids. They have learned so much from it! I really enjoy listening to our pastor and have never met anyone who is so down to earth and someone who reaches out to the community more than he does. Through our church, we have met some great friends who have blessed us beyond measure with meals, childcare, etc. when we've needed it. I've also been blessed with being able to work at the church and take the kids there. It has been a great opportunity.
3. My house. I am so thankful to be in our house! We have loved having a house this year and I love having a backyard for the kids to play in, a nice kitchen to cook in, and a garage to keep our cars dry and warm! We are blessed!
4. My hubby. I am so blessed to have a great caring husband of almost 6 years.:) I love that we can laugh together, cry together, and just be real together. It's great to have a best friend who knows you so well. I dont' know what I'd do without him!
5. Family vacations, special occasions, and holidays. I absolutely love spending time together over the holidays with my family and going on family vacations together. We have such a great time and make so many fun memories.
And the list goes on and on, but these are a few things I'm thankful for this year! We are so blessed!
And here's a picture of our tree this year! This is the first year we've actually had a decent sized tree and I had fun decorating it! The kids have enjoyed the train under the tree too:) The picture is a little blurry, but hopefully it captures the true colors of it.
