30 Days of Thankfulness-24

Day 24- Today is obviously Thanksgiving-the ultimate be thankful day! As I sit here and watch the parade with Jacob, I am thinking back on this last year and how much I have to be thankful for. Last year at this time I was just getting used to the idea of having twins, wondering if they would be boys, girls or one of each. Now I have 2 beautiful, almost 6 month old, baby girls. Last year Jacob was just 1 1/2 and now he is a little person, with thoughts, opinions, questions and full of love and laughter. We have done construction on our house, gone on vacations, gone from two incomes to one, and just enjoyed family and friends. Today we will visit Jesse's family for Thanksgiving and enjoy their company and food! Right now, Jesse is making a dessert and Jacob has learned the joy of licking the spoon. The girls are taking a nap and I am waiting for Santa to come across the screen and kick of the Christmas season! I will miss my family this holiday (my parents are in Ocean City and I will not being seeing my grandparents, aunts, uncles or cousins :-( ) Tonight my friends and I will literally shop 'til we drop as we take on Black Friday deals at midnight. This is the 3rd year I have gone and is a new tradition I look forward to. I am so blessed with love and friendship and I look forward to the Christmas season with my babies this year!
