Family

We were out of town for Thanksgiving, so I thought I would finish up a few last posts for November.

1. I am grateful for Thanksgiving! I love this holiday--I love cooking and spending time chatting in the kitchen. I am really grateful we were able to drive 4 hours to see some family. It was the best!

2. I am grateful for cousins. We drove another 4 hours and spent an afternoon with my cousins. It's a little different hanging out with cousins once you're all grown up--especially the cousins who were in high school while you were in elementary school. It made them instantly cool. Every once in a while I still don't feel cool enough to hang out with them--and I am grateful that they don't feel that way--they treat me like I'm one of them and worth their time. I really love cousins. I am also grateful that we try to hang out together as cousins.

3. I am grateful to be home after a long weekend. It's great to get back into our own routine.

4. I am grateful that it's Christmas Time! I love this holiday! I've spent the last two nights getting Christmas Cards ready. I love sending holiday cheer!

5. I am grateful Peaceful Hero is learning how to get around. Today was really rough, he hit his head about 5 times that show, and more that didn't leave marks, pinched fingers, fat lips and scraped knees, etc. I am grateful that a hug, a kiss, and a cracker make everything better. He is a joy! I'm also grateful he knows how to go up and down stairs safely. No injuries happened there.
