More Than A Day
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love;
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much moreThan they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.

Picture Tag-take two!!

O.K. This is my sixth picture in my sixth file-Don't ask me what I was thinking before. This is what my kids do while I try to scrapbook. Sorry it's also my laundry room and obviously I wasn't on top of the laundry!!! You may think that Tal looks pretty funny in his boots but I am not kidding that is what he wanted to wear all summer and now it's cold he wants to wear his flip flops(I don't get it). He's stinkin cute anyways.

Picture Tag!!!!!
