Thanksgiving

today is a new experience for me. we are not having thanksgiving at my house or that of a family member. we are going to a friends house and all i have to bring is a pecan pie and roasted veggies. part of me is sad to not be with my family on this holiday, but i still feel like my heart will burst with what i am thankful for.

i am thankful for the sound of running feet at 6 a.m as my little ones climb into my bed to snuggle
i am thankful for how their little heads and bodies are the perfect fit to me
i am thankful for the laughter and imagination that fills my house everyday
for the way my girls yell "DADDY" and run to the door when hubby comes home
i am thankful for my best friend and soulmate who brought me coffee and a rose this morning
i am thankful for my  friends
they are precious to me
i am thankful for the chaos of toys that i trip over and the games my girls play with them
i am thankful for the silly tears i've choked on this morning watching the parade on t.v with my girls
my cup runneth over

i am thankful for her
she is serving me breakfast right now
i am thankful for her
her mind amazes me along with her sweet spirit
i am thankful for her
this little creature is pure joy, love, & laughter
i am thankful for him
he is the most amazing husband and father
