Hayden kept us incredibly busy the past two days. He wanted to get the house decorated for Christmas. I think we worked four or five hours straight yesterday getting all the "stuff" out. The best part for me was watching him meticulously put up all the Nativity scenes we have. He wanted to do them himself and he did SO good. I am so proud. Then today after church he wanted to have all the outside lights put out. He is very opinionated about where he wants those lawn ornaments. (I just cannot figure out where he gets that personality trait.......). Before we put up the outside stuff, I thought today would be a good day to get those Christmas card pictures taken of him. What was I thinking? This child is such a mess. (I would not have him any other way but...) Seriously....this is what I got.....
You know it would just serve him right if I put these on a Christmas card and mailed them to all the little girls in his class.........hmmmm...................
On Thanksgiving, I am so thankful for so much. I am thankful that I am a child of God. That God loves us and takes care of us in all we do.
I am thankful for a silly little boy who laughs and smiles and melts my heart every day.
I am thankful for his health and his joy in being outside in God's world.
I am thankful that he has heroes who love God and express it so he knows how important that is.
I am thankful that we have a family who loves us through the good and the bad.
I am oh so thankful that this precious child sees the wonder in life always.
I am thankful for his silliness!!
