The kids had a blast as always playing on the wii, while my mom, sister and myself kept busy making dinner, and keeping up with the dishes (which is a lot of work when you don't have a diswasher)
There is so much to be thankful for. I am thankful that my husband has a stable secure job during the unstable crisis that our country's economy is in. I am thankful that both sides of our family are Christians and love the Lord with all of their hearts. I am thankful that God placed us at the Church Fellowship we are at. A fellowship that places God and family first, and strives to run a fellowship in a biblical way. I am thankful that I can stay home and teach my children.
There are so many things I could list. I could go on and on about all of the things that I am thankful for. God has truly blessed us beyond measure.
Another thing that I am thankful for, is my husbands skill at woodworking. He worked in a small cabinet shop for 4 years before getting the job he has now. He endured a lot at that job. But the one thing that he walked away with, was the knowledge of how to build quality things. And now I get to benefit from it! During the time he had off around the Thanksgiving holiday, by talented husband built me a brand new island for the kitchen. The picture turned out a little dark.
We are all looking forward to Christmas next! We decided to scale down the gifts quite a bit this year. We are getting each of the kids a meaningful gift that will get used often, and then get gifts that the whole family can enjoy together. The boys are each getting a wallet with a couple of dollars inside, and I am making each of my girls an apron. For the family gifts, we are hoping that we can buy the Drive Thru History series, a couple of Jonathan Park sets, and a set of speed stacks. Perhaps we can throw in a new wii game, but that all depends on the finances.
What are you planning on doing for Christmas presents this year? I'd love to hear about more creative present ideas.
