Teeter gift card from Hope Church the day before Thanksgiving.
02- Joelle (my future daughter-in-law) choosing to fly in and spend Thanksgiving with our family
03- Wednesday night the feeling I had as I said goodnight to my children- it makes me feel complete when they are home sleeping in their beds.
04- underbaking the cookies the way Aj likes & eating them warm with a spoon together
05- I was sitting in the dining room and listening to the "kids" at the "kids table" in the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day- (6 "kids" ages 19-23 all traveled in from various colleges & careers)who have spent at least 12 years of Holidays together laughing and talking above one another catching up, completely comfortable life-long friends
06- Looking at the houseful of company for Thanksgiving- knowing I was blessed to have each
person in my life
07- Eating at Olive Garden, as a new-soon to be family of five
08- Taking in a movie- even one I would never choose to watch (While I dislike 007)- I like going to the movies as a family
09- Spending hours shopping the outlets with Alysse
10- Falling asleep on the couch with Alysse & Brittany, the fireplace glowing and an old
movie on TV- fun night
11- Hearing familiar laughter from the basement as Alysse's HS friends came to watch a movie
12- The joy as we all visited an old family friend in her 80's- we prayed as we left, she cried, so
proud of AJ & Alysse
13- The fun of watching Aj get blessed as he was given a 7ft Christmas Tree that played music & rotates! He was pumped!
14- Without asking the ticket agent gave me a pass to walk Alysse to the gate at the airport- we shared one final cup of Starbucks before she boarded her plane
