GRRRRRRrateful!

I love a good pie chart

I think it's pretty clear what I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving: my healthy happy baby, my handsome helpful husband and lowercase h's in general. For serious though, even though he's pretty tiny and doesn't know what a holiday is, this Thanksgiving is already better just because Gabe's here. I think we were just going through the motions for holidays in the past few years because, really? I can't get excited over turkey and stuffing. Add in having to get dressed and drive around to see both families, and maybe some family drama, all when we'd rather be in sweats on the couch and you've got yourself a pair of Thanksgving grinches. But not this year. Gabe has made clear every little thing we have that we are grateful for. So little buddy, when you read this in 15 years, thanks. And wipe that pie off your face.

I'm also thankful for you guys. And I hope you have a great Thanksgiving. See you next week.

Are you dressing Gabe as a drumstick, or a juicy cranberry? Cause then the relatives will REALLY be excited to see your crew. Happy Thanksgiving Lady S!

Awww, what a sweet post! You have such a way with words that makes you come across as so likable and real! Enjoy your Turjey day with your boys! : )

Math can be delicious! I love your pie chart. So funny. Sharing the holidays with kids makes everything so meaningful! Plus you get to buy all the toys you always wanted to play with. Not that I would do that.

I love your "chart"! This was a great post, and I'm so happy for you and your family, now that you have your little "addition"!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I feel the exact same way. I mean, I always loved Thanksgiving. And I have loved it even more from '07 - now...because I had my first son, Roy...but now that Edward is here...it is even more special. Cheers to our new babies! Have a Happy Thanksgiving, and safe travels sweetie! Have a blessed week! :)
