- The holiday started with wonderful friends that came to play games on Wednesday night. I am thankful for the oppportunity to have fun with great people.
- We didn't have family dinner planned until Friday. I am thankful to have the extra day to prepare.
- Unfortunately, both kids got colds and fevers on Thursday. I am thankful that they are feeling better today.
- New this year, I had to work on Friday. I am thankful to have a job that I love that supports my family.
- Friday night, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate with the people we love but don't get to see often enough. I am thankful for those who shared the table with us.
- Saturday and Sunday were spent quietly at home while everyone mended from their cold. It makes me sad that we didn't get home to see my family as planned. However, we took the opportunity to get the Christmas tree up and decorated. I am thankful for the special holiday memories that I am building with my children.

Frames 1 & 2 with Jenna & Wrigley - hilarious & priceless all at the same time! Pics of Jake decorating the tree are precious. Just a thought for Jenna . . . if ever you're home and need additional bedding I think we all could just keep a big (new/clean) doggie pillow in the closet and Jenna would be all set! Close to the floor, wouldn't have to worry about her falling out. Of course, you lose that "can't get out of bed herself" factor I guess. Just a thought . . . .
