Today is the ultimate day of gratitude. All day long we will eat fantastic food, enjoy each others' company, appreciate everything we are thankful for, and try not to burn the house down turkey.
13 Reasons I am grateful today!
1. Hazel Eyes and a little chocolate goatee that never seems to wash off.
2. Flower footprints in the snow. (hard to see, but I have a bird to get in the oven, so no time to edit!)
3. Christmas lights! I even hang them in my kitchen I love them so much! Hooray it's finally Christmas season!!!!!
4. Holiday decorations and the days spent putting them up. I usually start right after Halloween.
5. The GREATEST family on the planet.
6. PRESENTS! Giving is way more fun! I love to wrap and make pretty bows. This year I got a head-start with Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Swap. This is what 'My Favorite Things' are supposed to look like. Sorry Andrea, I forgot about customs. I'm sure someone had fun unwrapping these-especially the um addiction--I swear it's not what you think!
7. Stockings to hang on the chimney with care. There was a Christmas not so long ago when I was truly scared Santa wouldn't come. Not only did he arrive that year, but we were even able to order these awesome Pottery Barn stockings to hang. I'll never forget how grateful I was that year!
8. Shadow dancing. I swear she comes up with the BEST stuff every time I just let.her.be.
13. Belief in Santa and the anticipation, wonder, awe associated with his arrival while spending time with family and friends--eating, laughing, playing, and singing Christmas carols.
Now that's what I call Christmas!
Happy Thanksgiving--and let the Christmas season BEGIN!!!!!
