Family Traditions

Does your family have any special traditions? Do you eat something non traditional? Thanksgiving is usually spent at my in laws. We are quite the bunch, let me tell ya! We have 10 kids running around, 4 couples, 5 dogs and 1 great grandma. Yes we have a very full house. This year we are going to start a tradition of an ornament exchange. We will all buy an ornament and wrap it. Then whoever brought an ornament can pick a number to get a new ornament from the pile of ones brought. All our kids are very excited and looking forward to this. Usually after dinner we all chat or play games for awhile, then put kids to bed and off to shop.

Being thankful

As we are headed into the time of the year that we all start thinking about things we are thankful for, I just wanted to write down my list. Do you have a list of things you are thankful for? The more we focus on the things we are thankful for the less we are going to focus on the things we don't have. Here is my list and it grows everyday. 1. I am thankful for my 5 children, we weren't sure we were going to able to have them 2. I am thankful for modern medicine 3. I am thankful for my church and family we have there 4. I am thankful for my husband who loves us and takes care of us 5. I am thankful for my husbands new job 6. I am thankful for grandma who without her I would be grandparentless 7. I am thankful for grandma's hollering all day because if she is hollering she is alive 8. I am thankful for my mom who raised me all by herself 9. I am thankful for my sister and best friend..we sure didn't get along as kids but now it is terribly hard for me t
