Okay, so I am a little bit behind here! HA.
Day 20, 21- I am thankful for days when I am so wrapped up in other things that I don't even get on the computer to write a "thankful" post! Vacation from work so that I can spend time with my family instead. Being lazy and watching movies together, playing games with Mason, etc. Being away from the computer for 5-6 days is much needed sometimes!
Day 22- Thankful for pilgrims and good harvest back in the 1600's. Without that we probably would not celebrate Thanksgiving. Did you know that it was declared a national celebration in 1789 by George Washington? He declared it "as a day of public thanksgiving and prayer to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favours of Almighty God". We have been giving thanks ever since in November. So much to be thankful for each year. I am glad that we have this day to remind us while celebrating with loved ones.
Day 23- Thankful for Christmas. Traditionally the day after Thanksgiving is when we decorate our home for Christmas. This year was no different other than the fact that Mason was REALLY in to it this time. Thankful for the excitement of little children around this time of year. Our tree is up and decorated. Lightning the Elf flew in with his Christmas magic. The manger scene is played with daily on the coffee table. The outside lights are sparkling. Good day!
Day 24- Thankful for the HUGE smile on Mason's face at any given moment. Luckily he is a glass half full kinda kid and he is generally always happy. BUT...but the smile on his face when he opened his new bike on Saturday was priceless! For his birthday we got him a bike and he just lit up. He could not say "thank you" enough and the hugs and smiles and thankfulness of this little guy just melts me. He is just a good kid with huge smile. Thankful that he recognizes when to be happy and thankful. Love that little guy!
Day 25- Yep, you guessed it. Thankful for Mason Layne...not just his smile as above but everything about him. Today is his birthday. He had a rough start in this world. He is definitely my little miracle boy. He lights up my day and makes me smile and laugh constantly. He isn't perfect, but he is the perfect child for me. I love that he is a Daddy's boy right now, but he can't go to sleep without his mommy. He doesn't go long without wanting to pat me and tell me he loves me or give me a random hug, even when I have not been the best parent ever. He has such a sweet heart. I am just so thankful that God gave me such a great little guy to watch over here on this earth. Wow, I am blessed. Happy birthday little man!
Day 26- Thankful for heaters. It's a simple thing but I would freeze at my office desk if I didnt have a heater by me! And along the same lines...in the summer I am thankful for the fans and A/C's. It wasn't too long ago that heat and cool air were not an option. I am not sure how people managed back then. we are pretty spoiled now, but I am thankful.
