Small twigs, big thanks

About a week before MaryAnne arrived I decided to start a mini tree of thanks with the boys. It was really for them but it was good for me to slow down in the pre-baby panic and realize that we have so much to be thankful for.

These are the things they were thankful for this year. On the second day Owen called out that he was thankful for his nipples. We spared the tree that shame and told him while we are glad he’s thankful for his nipples we might think of some other options.

We enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast at my brother Ryan’s house with my parents in town from Texas. The cousins enjoyed cuddling MaryAnne and watching a movie together after lunch. I would say we all got our fill of great food.

    MaryAnne is the one who should be thankful for YOUR nipples. ba dum bum! Sorry, I couldn’t help it
    We had a thankful tree at our house too and our best ones were smoothie king and Maddie’s math teacher who tutors her. I think Owen wins!
