Thanksgiving is OVER!

After three days, the Braley's have all the Christmas decorations up. Probably will have pictures to come soon.... After putting up the tree that we had carefully put away last year with all the lights on to save time this year, we found that many of them were burnt out. So after removing all the lights, putting on some new and old light strands and decorating crazily, we're officially done! Yeah!
This past Thanksgiving I had the pleasure of watching my nieces while my wonderful sister and her husband enjoyed Maui. (I'm so jealous). So, my newest thing I'm grateful for is having just ONE girl that is a TODDLER and does not have the emotional swings yet that I have learned that she will most likely develop. I NOW will savor all my little temper tantrums and her QUICK ability to forgive me and Kordel for our misgivings. I will also TREASURE my Toddler's ability to find joy in the little things and that she does not currently have in her vocabulary the phrase "I'm BORED. What are we going to do now?" Wow, so much to be grateful for!
