Thankfulness

Thanksgiving has always been a favorite holiday. This is probably due to the fact that it is very similar to Christmas with the food, family, and all the "day of" activities, but without the financial stress involved. And while it may not be a holiday with the same religious connotations as Christmas, it is a holiday that allows us to reflect on all that we have been blessed with. Perhaps it is the time of year, perhaps it is the obstacles our family has faced lately, or maybe a combination of both that have allowed me to reflect even more so on all that I have to be thankful for. So, this week I'll be blogging a lot about all the incredible things in my life that I have to be grateful for!

The above picture is of an original corn husk doll made by Cameron. They have been studying the Pilgrims and Indians, and made this doll in art class. I won't go into the adventure I had trying to find the corn husks for the class, but let's just say I was very grateful for the employees at Safeway: The checker and produce employee for graciously informing me they actually sell corn husks bags, the girl bagging the groceries for asking me what I was doing with all 30 bundles of Indian corn I had in my cart originally, and for kindly taking it and putting it all back for me when I had my 3 bags of corn husks. :)
