Hey, I'm still here. I kept up with the daily thankfuls fairly well on facebook, but blogging takes a bit more time, so got neglected.
How bout I start fresh?
Thankful for two boys watching The Sound of Music with me. I thought they would hate it, but Evan was mad when he realized it's on til 10, past his bedtime.
Thankful for a Santa and an elf, for a Christmas stocking holder. A friend makes wooden crafts, and I finally got her to make me a stocking holder that stands on its own, and I can't wait to see it. I've only bugged her for two years! It's impossible to hang stuff on our plaster-concrete walls. And somehow, it's already paid for. Thank you, Santa.
Thankful for the beauty of the first snowfall. School isn't cancelled yet, but I am betting it will be. It's beautiful outside, peeking from the warmth of the front door with the neighbor's Christmas lights twinkling.
Thankful for a week with my mom, even though she left a bit early with the ugly weather forecast. She joined Tom's family for Thanksgiving, we all traveled to my dad and stepmom's for a couple days, and stayed for 3 6th grade basketball games and a long morning of doctor's appointments today at the Barn. I miss her dishwashing already. It is kinda weird though, to tell her how to fold laundry and which dishes were not machine-wash. Pretty sure I should just be thankful she's doing my laundry and dishes!
Thankful for a new garage door opener. We put off that purchase for several years, but caved in for a Christmas present for me. The arm is gimpy, and it's hard to stretch to pull the door closed.
God blesses us, every single day, and we are so lucky.

Ahhh- you do thankfulness so well! I would definitely include those very type things on my list. my 11 year old initially did not want to watch SOM with me, but then caved in and snuggled in for the rest of the night :) Hope the gimpy arms heals up soon!
