Thankful for Thanksgiving

This year my kids have been WAY into Thanksgiving this year.  Every time we came home from church, they would count how many houses already had their Christmas decorations displayed.  Laura Beth just was fed up the Sunday before Thanksgiving and announced to the whole car,

"Don't people realize we have Thanksgiving BEFORE Christmas??!!

We need to be THANKFUL!!!"

So what are we thankful for . . . .

 Aunt Amy's AMAZING chocolate chocolate chip muffins!!!!
(Here are her additions to the recipe:  I added more chocolate chips, omitted the nuts, used 1.5 c milk, and 3/4c cocoa powder, 3 tbls oil, and did not sprinkle with sugar.)

 pulling the wish bone . . .

sweet sugar from little members of the family . . . 

 true feelings coming out  . . .

time to just relax and enjoy those around us . . .
