Another wonderful Thanksgiving is in the books and we are quickly moving toward Christmas! The house is decorated and the boys’ wish lists are growing by the day. We are trying to remind them of the true meaning of Christmas and to be thankful for all the “things” they already have. On Thanksgiving Mac asked to say the blessing and my only rule was that he could not sing one of the funny blessings we generally do, but instead had to make up his own. I wish I had recorded it. I can’t remember exactly what he said but it was all about being thankful for our family and the new friends and family with us this year. Mom cried, and my heart was swollen with love and pride. Mac never ceases to amaze us!
Charles’s stepson Fred and his little girl Ginger joined us this year for thanksgiving (I think this was the new family Mac referred to in his blessing!) and the boys loved having another playmate. She and Coe were fast friends as Mac eventually migrated to the study to watch football with the big boys.
Early Christmas gifts from Yaya – Lego Advent calendars – HUGE HIT!
On the years we are in Pensacola we always celebrate Thanksgiving with Papou and Gigi during the Iron Bowl. This was the only picture I got as the game was intense and no one was pausing to smile for the camera. Thankfully AL came out with a big 2nd half and everyone relaxed a little and enjoyed the game. RTR and Happy Holidays!
