I put my Christmas tree up this week, and made chocolate chip cookies with Gracie. She poured in the chocolate chips herself, and helped to stir the batter. We sang Christmas carols together, and watched Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. We’ve already taken our Christmas pictures, and I have a stack of cards waiting to be written. We’ve been to holiday parades, and this weekend we will be having breakfast with Santa.
Though the need to write an “I am Thankful for Blog” initially seemed to pass me by, with the start of the holiday season, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude. I have a beautiful little girl to share every moment of such a special time with. One who is happy, and healthy. Given the field I work in that is something I will never take for granted. I have a good job that lets me provide for my daugher, and a life better then two years ago I ever imagined possible. Trying though somedays are, I am thankful for each and every one of them.
My niece is over right now, both girls are still in pajama's. They're rolling about the living room floor, watching The Little Mermaid and rough housing. Story time at Barnes and Noble is in about an hour, I should probably start on getting them ready. It's cold and snowy out today. In this weather going anywhere has become quite a process! Still, we brave it because staying in produces such cranky children!
