Our 2009 Thankful Tree.
I think we covered the basics pretty well. With a few random....... or creative ones.........like pillows, pajamas, beds (I'm detecting a trend here) , diversity, rain forests, and pumpkin cookies.
I thought I'd make a list of random, though no less worthy of gratitude, things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving............

DITTO!! I was nodding in agreement to all the things you're grateful for. It was so good to see you last week! Miss you!
And I am thankful for Nicole's posts, even though they are few and far between these days:) Finally, a post! Tag keeps bugging me everyday, "Mom, has Sister Mason posted yet?"
My favorite Thanksgiving blog post! It's the little things, isn't it? Your boys are so fun! Aside from the fact that everyone keeps thinking that Zane is a girl and that he is one of Saydie's little friends...(seriously, give the child a haircut!) We are having a blast and it's nice having a little more testosterone around here. Gus is the quietest, sweetest, cutest little guy - he just lets Addie boss him all over the place. Don't hurry home!
