Gratitude Challenge 2011 Days 25 and 26: Cousins and Christmas "Kick-Off"

Day 25

Who can make you smile bigger...

...than your crazy cousins?

Especially when they...

 

 ...try to help you find...

 ...your shoe,

which was "eaten" by the

muddy creek

behind your grandparents' house?

 Or when they help you...

 ...entertain the relatives 

(and the cat)

with the 2nd annual...

...Thanksgiving Day Skit?

We are so thankful for our cousins!

Day 26

There is nothing that puts me 

more in a Christmas mood

then...

...attending the

Fantasy of Trees-

a Knoxville Tradition which raises money

for our local children's hospital.

We loaded up three cars...

 

  ...to take all the visiting family.

While we were there,

we enjoyed...

...looking at all the decorated trees...

...riding the carousel...

...decorating Christmas cookies...

 

 ...and working on Christmas decorations.

 NOW we are ready to decorate our OWN home!

I am grateful for a wonderful

Christmas "kick-off"...
