Thanksgiving will be here before you know it, it is one of my favorite holiday’s to celebrate. There are no presents to wrap, we are surrounded by friends and family and sharing delicious food. Kids are off from school and the Fall weather is here! Thanksgiving is such a special time because we have time to think of all he gifts we are surrounded with in life.
This list is a simple one, it is a list that came to my mind quickly when I thought about what we can all be thankful for. Some are silly and some may seem basic, but, they all are gifts. They are in no particular order!
When you go around your table this Thanksgiving and share what you’re thankful for, here is a start.. I know we can add more. What would you add?
1. Elastic Waist Pants
