thanksgiving

i can't believe christmas is next week and i'm just barely posting about thanksgiving! we were very blessed to have some friends invite us over for dinner, otherwise we really would have had no place to go and would have either gone to a restaurant, or had a regular dinner. it kind of made us realize, and be truly thankful for, how many people really don't have a place to go for holidays, or be with family. so it may seem little, but i think we both agree that's what we were most thankful for this year, along with all the other things.
we were going to try and make a 100 gratitude list, but we only made it to 50 - we forgot to go back and add. there are really endless things to be thankful for anyway.
