I always wonder what I am going to say when Papa goes around the room and asks everyone what they are thankful for...today I had so much that I wanted to say but we were limited to one thing since there were so many people. So I figured I would list them now-
1. My Mother- I never realized how much Mom put herself through to make the holidays special for us kids. She always had the prettiest house, the best food, the perfect presentation, and most important the best face forward. This year was the first year that I took on more than one project to help Mom out and let me just tell you that it is not easy. I was so stressed. Kaleb was sick and needy, I was trying to make cookies, shower, fry bacon, blow dry my hair, cut onions, put makeup on, bathe Kaleb, boil corn, etc. Not to mention I had all the EASY stuff. THANK YOU Mom for all the years that you have gone out of your way to make our holidays special and keep up your wonderful traditions. I love you and I now have a true appreciation for all of your efforts. Love you.
2. My Kaleb-The Lord has blessed me with a wonderful baby that I love more and more each day we get to spend together. I could not ask for a better baby that loves me so much. Love you Kaleb.
3.My Brian- My husband has given Kaleb and I everything that we could ever need. He is the hardest worker that I know and I am so proud of what he has accomplished the years we have been together. He has provided all that we have and I love him for it. Not to mention he was a wonderful help this morning in between frying a turkey and getting ready. Your turkey was great Honey!
4.My Family-I think I just need to write it. Our whole family was able to be together this year and it was so much fun to spend time with everyone. The cousins loved hanging out and I enjoyed visiting with everyone. There was no arguing, no bickering, just great conversation. Love all of you.

Dearest Amy,
I've just now had time to check my email and blog...it's 1:17 a.m.. (I've tucked Mema & Dad into bed and have been laughing it up with Meg and Samantha.) Your post is very sweet and brings tears to my eyes. It's always special to be appreciated, but even more so to hear it. I love you too! I have loved doing all those things for the family to make good memories. Mothers are the heart of the home. :-)
Very sweet post, Amy! I'm with Karen..I want to be your mom when I grow up.
It was a great holiday and as always I loved spending time with you. Love you!
