Today I am thankful for….
- Grainy iphone selfies with my family. #felfies?
- My sweet, chubby, serious and curious, baby boy.
- Good friends, a few of whom will be coming over to celebrate Thanksgiving with us today.
- My sister-in-law, for her killer cheesecake recipe.
- My mom, for texting me said cheesecake recipe when I told her I couldn’t find it but really was just too lazy to look very hard.
- My whole family actually, Casey’s too. We’ve got some good ones.
- Being a meat-eater again, because last years tofurkey just didn’t hit the spot…. the way a real dead animal does. <—- Yeesh. Oh man… having second thoughts…
- Ok let’s be honest, I’m thankful for all the beige Thanksgiving foods.
- Coffee. Because coffee.
- New mom friends, who understand the importance of discussing the color of our baby’s poop.
- My baby.
- My bloggity blog readers. High-fives all around.
- Dry shampoo.
- Wine. Of all ages and ethnicities.
- Finally being able to fit into a few of my more forgiving pre-baby jeans.
- Maternity jeans, because they could actually be rebranded as Thanksgiving pants.
- The fact that Christmas tree farms open tomorrow. Yes, we will be first in line.
- Crosby.
- Our new car. No, it’s not a minivan. But it does make me feel responsible and mom-ish. And it does have a steering wheel warmer, which is a game changer for my Nightmare Before Christmas hands.
- Christmas movies and music, moving into the rotation.
- My dogs, for still loving me just as much even though I give them about 67% less attention than I used to, pre-baby.
- My husband, for loving me just as much as much even though I give him about 67% less attention than I used to, pre-baby.
- My husband for being such a good papa to our baby.
- Did I mention my baby?
And hey, happy Thanksgiving back!
