Thankful for days like today

1. We put up the Christmas decor today. Mackenzie was two weeks old last time we put up the tree. Last year, we were moving during the holidays. So, we didn't put up the tree.

2. I put up Christmas lights outside for the first time in my life. Suprisingly, it wasn't as much of a chore as I thought it would be.

3. We have photo frame stocking holders. Mady has a tradition of coloring a picture of each family member and putting the drawing in the frame.

4. My dad is here for the Thanksgiving holidays. Mom and Bill were here last week. The girls enjoy the grandparents being around.
