Giving Thanks
We celebrated Thanksgiving a little bit differently this year. Normally we head up to Chicago to be with my side of the family, however this year, Rhonald had to work and because Lily Kate is still so young we decided to stay home. We have so much to be thankful for...beautiful, healthy kids, a strong marriage, a wonderful home and great friends to have dinner with. Honestly I was going to order pizza...very un-Thanksgiving like I know but why cook for 2 1/2 people??? Then, our dear friends from church invited us to have dinner with them and several other "plan less" friends of ours. It was great - great food, great company and it was really great that one of Rhonald's partners took his call for 2 hours so he could enjoy dinner with us. The funniest part of the day was a conversation that I had with Cole over breakfast that morning. I asked him what he was thankful for and he quickly shouted out "Dinos!" Then I said, "I wonder what Lily is thankful for." To which he replied, "I think your boobs." Oh, out of the mouth of babes! It was a great day!!! Although we missed being with our family we are so very thankful to have "family" here to be with as well.
