Late, but THANKFUL!

I have just about let December sneak up on me without posting our first annual Thankful Tree.

We really do have so much to be thankful for, and we continue to be blessed each and every day.  I'm not sure why we are so blessed, but I am so thankful to God for everything that he has given us.

 The tree had lots of serious things, and lots of silly things that we are each thankful for. 

The kids really let me have it about my branch making skills.  Or lack of skills you might say.  I have a whole year to work on the tree branch making.

 One of my silly ones. . . .Twitter.

 Now I am in full panic mode over the whole Christmas card thing.  I have everything in order, except for pictures of the boy.  We even attempted to go in the back yard on Friday afternoon.  Maybe a real photographer could get Christmas card worthy photos in my back yard, but not this girl.  I need a prettier back drop.  We had planned to go out Saturday, but the clouds and rain came in.  And they haven't left yet!!!  I am hoping to get an opportunity this weekend to snap a few good ones for the card.

For now, this is all I've got.  I am thankful for this photo, because it is better than what I normally get of this camera shy kid.

If you are wondering, our grass is not normally this green during the late November.  This was taken in the special "green field" that we planted for the local deer population. :)
