Ah, Thanksgiving. What a perfect holiday....it's about food, family togetherness, reflection, and being lazy on the couch after cooking all day, stuffing your face, and enjoying the sounds of someone else doing the dishes while you eat dessert helping #3. Perfect.
I have a lot to be thankful for, as I do every year. This year was maybe my best yet. Here's my list of what I appreciate most in my life:
- A fun and loving daughter and beautiful, healthy baby boy. Jordan and Jacob couldn't be any more precious, and I'm so lucky to have such wonderful children. May we always be so fortunate. And may they always be so healthy.
- Supportive and loving family. I'm lucky to be able to spend these years at home with my kids while they're young while Jamie provides for us all. I'm lucky to have parents that spend so much time with us, helping us out whenever and wherever they can so we have even more opportunities to enjoy our children and take time for ourselves as well.
- Ability to host family and friends, especially at the holidays. I love a full house and company to cook for. I'm glad everyone is able to come to us while we're travel-restricted. I'm excited to spend our first Albuquerque Christmas at home with so many.
Now on a lighter, less sappy note:
- I'm thankful for cable TV.... I've spent the better part of November on the couch, nursing a newborn, watching HOURS and HOURS of television. I can't imagine the horror of doing it with only network programming available. Ugh.
- I'm thankful for the ability to make pie.
- I'm thankful for dishwashers, especially silent ones.
- I'd be really, really thankful for a 3 year old that could entertain herself while we watch the football game.
