"All That I'm Allowed (I'm Thankful)"

(by Elton John)



I'm sorry to be two days late with this. We had to make a quick trip to the panhandle for Grandmommy's funeral and were out in the middle of nowhere. I attempted to post it from my phone yesterday, but I was having some technical difficulties. Anyways, today I am thankful for...

551. Completing my Christmas shopping {under budget}
552. The beautiful life of my Grandmommy
553. My aunt & uncle, who lovingly cared for Grandmommy for many years
554. A baking day with Amy & Shannon
555. A sweet & snuggly baby to hold on a sad day
556. Leftovers from lunch at Amy's that were enough to feed dinner to my family on a night when I didn't really want to deal with dinner {PLUS enough for lunch the next day!}
557. Doctors & nurses who took great care of my uncle Neal {he's recovering very well!}
558. A great afternoon/evening with my brother & his family
559. My kids getting along so well with their cousins
560. A super cute handmade beanie from my niece
561. Wendy's fudge {that I shouldn't have allowed her to leave here!!}
562. A Christmas Eve visit with my baby brother
563. A beautiful Christmas Eve service at church
564. Christmas Eve dinner traditions with my family
565. My kids insisting on doing a word search together ~ even though they both had their own :)
566. Their patience on Christmas morning {they're cool about waiting until after breakfast to open gifts!}
567. Fun games with Dan & Sheryl
568. A nice visit with Sheryl's mom
569. A place to leave our crazy dog for the night
570. A beautiful day to honor the life of my Grandmommy
571. Seeing family that I haven't seen in way too long
572. A nice visit with my hippie cousin :)
573. A beautiful ring that belonged to Grandmommy
574. A couple of days with my beautiful cousin Kendra's family
575. A lot of time spent with my brother this Christmas

What are you thankful for today?
