Thanksgiving

So Thanksgiving is one of my very favorite holidays, and it seems like it gets skipped over a lot of the time. I hate when Christmas music is playing before Thanksgiving, it seems like we are turning into ungrateful people and this is a much needed holiday in this day in age.

I feel like lately I have been mostly focusing on the negative in my life so this post is something I really needed to do because there really is a lot I am thankful for.
I am thankful for Mike and our family, and how hard he works to support us.
I amt thankful for all my kids even though we have had a rough time of it lately I wouldn't trade any of them in. I am thankful for Winter and all the help she gives me. Sometimes it feels like she is co-parenting with me and although I appreciate it I know I don't tell her enough. I am thankful forZarley, her stubbornness and her quirky personality. Although right now it feels like her stubbornness is going to be the death of me some days I am hoping it will take her far in life. She has real determination that could take her wherever she wants to go. I am thankful for Owen because he is just sweet and mellow and doesn't rock the boat. He is also funny. I am thankful for Xavier because he is my baby and such a cute little baby. He knows what he wants and docent seem like he is going to be one to settle for anything less.
I am very thankful for my in-laws they are always taking my kids to do new and fun things. Like Disney on Ice or trans Siberian orchestra, or Wheeler farm for whatever holiday thing they have going on. They take my kids everywhere and give them so many opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. Not to mention all they have and continue to do for Mike and myself.
I am very thankful for my parents and the determination to get through things that they have shown me, they have proven that two people can get through any trial or tribulation if they really want to. I am so glad for the memories and traditions that they gave us growing up they have set a firm foundation for all of us on how we think holidays should go that's for sure.
I am thankful for the country we live in and the freedoms we enjoy and for all the military men and women who put their lives on the line for us to keep those freedoms.
I really do love Thanksgiving and all that it should mean and hope that everyone has a good holiday and remembers all that we have to be thankful for.
