Day 3,209

Thankful for: 

A great day with Addy and Tobin. It was just the three of us for most of the day.

We went to Chick-fil-a and got peppermint milkshakes. 

We went shopping at Dick's to get items for Adelyn's angel tree child. We got a football and shoulder pads. 

We went shopping at Target to get items for the angel tree child I picked from our tree at school. We got a Barbie, clothes, and a coat. It was fun picking out those cute items for our child. 

We did some chores around the house. 

Tobin got to go to a friend's house. 

Going to bed early because I was tired. 

Our home looks cozy and merry. 

Another day off ahead of us. 

We have heat thanks to my dad!

Day 3,208

Thankful for: 

Not having to set an alarm. 

Having a quiet morning to myself. 

Hot coffee and a warm blanket and my couch. 

Leftover pecan pie for breakfast. 

Our own Thanksgiving meal today: roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, country corn pudding, biscuits, pomegranate, cranberry sauce, black olives, and tons of gravy. Followed by pumpkin pie and pecan pie. Everything was homemade; even the pie crust and biscuits. I was proud of the delicious meal today. 

My dad was able to fix our heat today. It was 58 degrees in our home today. I'm very thankful my dad knows how to fix everything, but more importantly, I'm thankful he loves us all so much. 

I was thankful my parents could stay and have a meal with us. 

Lots of quality time with Addy and Tobin today. I'm thankful for less screen time and more real time. 

Time alone to watch a show and crochet. 

I finished a blanket for Remy, and now I'm working on a blanket for Aidan. 

A hot shower. 

Lotion. 

Cold, cold weather outside. 

Two more days off ahead of me. 

A really beautiful Thanksgiving!
