Happy Thanks Giving!! Harmony and I are having a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving at home--the stomach bug I had last Friday has hit her. So she's eating toast, and I had some popcorn, and we've been watching Dora and Kipper movies. She's definitely on the mend, but we didn't want to expose the family to her germs. So Patrick and Henry are at the family gathering, while we hold down the fort.
Many years ago I started a Thousand Thanks list. It is such a blessing to go back and read it, and add the year's blessings onto it. Now I just need to find it :)
This year I'm thankful for:
--how much my children have learned and grown, both physically and spiritually
--how much I've grown spiritually
--blogging--it really has let me reflect on what God is doing in my life--and in the lives of others around me
--the depth of relationships that have developed at my church and in our town--I think for the first time in nine years, we can say we have friends!
Here's Henry's list (he's 5):

Oh that was fun - including your kids thankful lists too - the TRex, the fuzzy pajamas...so precious!
I'm so glad that Harmony loved her princess cake so much that it made it all the way to the thanksgiving thankful list. That's awesome. Go you Ann!
Great list! We had pizza!!
I am sorry the stomach bug hit, I too am just now getting over a week long cold. Enjoyed your list, very precious.
A great list! I think it is a good tradition to have the children name their thankfuls at Thanksgiving. I'm sorry you were ill and unable to get together with family. Thanks for stopping by.
